OK so have you checked for fuel and spark. Does it even crank? Throwing a generic, "my car won't start" does nothing. Help us help you narrow it down.

make sure all your grounds are tight as well, and all the new stuff has not moved and maybe you forgot to tighten something, check every connection over just to make sure, including all hoses, electrical, anything, plus what Pro said.

just throwing this out there because it happend to me a couple nights ago.

for some reason my car was throwing a bunch of codes so i cleared them and tried to crank it, wouldnt start so i ran it again and the only code that came up before and again was "TPS failure".

had to go to autozone and buy a new tps for like $30 bucks. started right up.

save urself some money and scan the codes before dropping some cash on some parts u may not need.

Very good advice!

Also try to routine, car wont start diagnostic, check grounds, battery voltage, starter connections, solenoid bypass, solenoid switches when ignition is turned, etc. Has your volt gauge been low lately? Any chance moisture in the distributor/plugs/wires? Try swapping battery with another vehicle quick and see if that helps.

Good Luck
