Engines need 4 things to run, fire, fuel, air, and compression. If you are getting fire, fuel, and air and it is still not starting that leaves a compression problem. If you go to your local auto parts store you should be able to loan out a compression tester for a few bucks, real easy to use. Look in a Chilton or Haynes and it should tell you what the compression is. Test each cylinder if it is below you probably have a head gasket problem, it could even be rings or maybe worse. The timing is also very important that could keep it from running so make sure the timing is correct and the firing order is correct. There are also sometimes ignition or ecu fuses that are seperate from your fuel fuse or relay that could keep it from start but will still allow it to turn over. It would help if I was able to get a good description of what it sounds like when you turn it over, a lot can be told by the sound. If none of these work for you feel free to pm me and I can give you a few more things to check out.
