No start
So 2 days ago i drove my car to work then again when i was on break but after i got off 3 hours after my break my car wouldnt start and the battery died so i got a jump and it wouldnt catch so i put the battery from my other car in it (the battery is only 3 months old) with no avail so i figured it was flooded so i pulled the plugs and did the whole unflooding procedure it still wouldnt start i pulled the plugs again and checked for spark and its getting a strong spark but it wont catch i recently replaced the ecu, fuel pump, spark plugs, and a few other miscellaneous things does anyone have any ideas i need to get it back up and running to get to and from work while im waiting for a radiator for my other car

You can't put them on the plugs, that negates and makes things worse then they are
Take your plugs out and clean them with carb cleaner or starting fluid
Do a compression test
Find a small long hose and put it in the leading plug holes and pour some oil in each housing while turning it over by hand
Put your clean plugs in, put the wires on correctly
Take your starting fluid and give your intake a good 1 second shot of it
Hit the key and hopefully profit

It might not hurt to try and push or pull start it. If this does work then you know there is an issue with your tune with ECU possibly. I had to do this a couple times. Funny thing is it would start fine after that. It was just when I let it set some. This was the only way I could get the car to start. I could not jump it no matter how fast it turned over. This ended up being tuning with the ECU.

Are you sure your fuel pump didn't crap the bed?
Remove the fuel feed hose at the fuel rack and stick the hose into a clean, dry bottle so you can reuse the fuel later.. Have someone crank it or jumper the fuel pump check connector and see if she's even getting fuel..
