what do you mean by turnover? do you mean the start is working adn is maknig the engine go round and round but its not starting up?
in anycase, here is a generic check list thingy...
so how did you plug them in and check for spark? you should have gotten a wire and put one end to ground and wrapped the other end around the spark plug and had someone crank her up. BTW: you checking all 4 sparkplugs/wire right???
also, how are you testing for fuel? you should have pulled the fuel line closes to the front of the car near the oilfilter and jump the fuel pump to see if fuel is shooting out. just jumping the fuel pump and hearing it whorl around is not good enuf, you gotta make sure fuel is actually getting to your injectors. perhaps its your injectors? compression test is a good idea, how are you doing this btw, are you towing her to a dealer? personnaly i would try a regular compression testor first, much cheaper and damn near free if you already have one
do you still have the stock ecu??? perhpas you should try to plug that in and see if it will start with that.
Oh yeah, check to see if all the relays and fuses are good.
