You really haven't narrowed it down at all. Cars need air, fuel, and spark to run. You need to check each of these individually. Pull out a spark plug and hold it to a ground while you turn the engine over to make sure you have spark. Then pull the fuel rail to make sure that you have fuel. This will tell you where the problem lies and allow you to troubleshoot it further. Just because you have replaced parts don't assume that they are not your problem. If the car ran before you changed the parts then your problem lies within one of the new parts or improper installation of them. The easiest thing that you can check is the emergency fuel shutoff. This is an automatic switch that shuts fuel off in case of an accident. Well is gets shorted or something sometimes because it switched off on one of my cars once during a lightning storm. The switch will be in your trunk somewhere and should say emergency fuel shutoff.
