injectors firing? coils plugged in? made sure coils are good?
If all is good and normal, unplug your alternator (both the pigtail and the round charging wire) and crank, see if it starts.
Keep us posted.

Coils are powered by a Black/Yellow wire w/key to on (There are 2 B/Y wires at the trailing coil and one B/Y wire at the leading coil). Check for voltage w/key to on. If the B/Y wire has no power w/key to on then check the 40 amp EGI INJ fuse in the engine fuse box.

Coils need to be bolted to the fender for grounding purposes or they won't ignite.

You need to make sure that the ECU is powered up as well which could be done by checking for 5 volts on the Brown wire at the Boost Sensor with key to on. If this wire has 5 volts w/key to on then the ECU is properly powered. Wire can be measured for voltage connected or disconnected from the sensor.

Also, the Green/Yellow wire at the leading coil ( same plug where the B/Y wire is) should alternate from 0 volts to 5 volts in repeated fashion w/key to on as the motor is turned over manually by hand. Turning the alternator pulley should rotate the engine. The G/Y wire tells the coil when to spark.
