When you removed the UIM, did you remove the throttle body to inspect the area behind it? I do not see where you replaced the UIM, which is a very common failure behind the T/B. In addition, the plugs will not fire hot enough to start the engine, once soaked with coolant. If not done yet, change the UIM and then the plugs.

Did you see something similar to this pic, once you removed the UIM? If so, you need to replace the UIM!
