Check the voltage while cranking.  If it's too low 10V or lower the computer will not work, and won't fire the injectors.

If you have no spark, track it back one junction at a time.  If you have fuel, and air in the right ratio, any spark will ignite it.  So keep going back to that principal in your mind.  You are missing one of the components, or it's in the wrong ratio.

Get yourself a manual, any of them.  And follow the troubleshooting guide.  That should guide you through the process.

Good luck.
