Did you cheack all grounds to include the one on the drivers side cyl head? Did you check the cam position sensor? the car will not start if that sensor is unplugged. Can you hear the fuel pump turn on when you turn the key to the "on" position without cranking the engine?
What have you actually checked already and ruled out?

Had the cam pos sensor problem... I believe it is very common to forget something when putting it all back together. Check around your engine for anything not connected or plugged in.

Do some troubleshooting. Pull a plug. Is it wet? Connect it to the plug wire and lay it on a ground. Crank the motor. Do you have spark? While the plug is out, screw a compression tester in the plug hole. Crank the motor. What is the compression. Unscrew the cap on the fuel rail. Push in on the schrader valve. Is there pressure?
