Wont Start, Fuel problem ?

It will not crank, It turns over but sounds like its not getting fuel. I checked the spark ,its good. Then i cleaned tha gas tank out as it had been sitting for some time. Also changed the float assymbly and fuel pump. It gets fuel up to the fuel filter changed it then the fuel also gets up to the fuel pressure regulator. (changed that as well just in case) Where else do i go? is there a possibility that the computer is bad or that the injectors are shot etc.....

any help would be appriciated.
Thanks again

Get a noid light from a parts store. They'll usually loan them out for a refundable deposit. You just plug it into the injector harnesses and crank the engine. If any of the connectors fail to flash then you know you have a problem between there and the ECU. If they flash then that means the injectors are getting a signal. The flash should be a very rapid flash. If it's a slow flash or no flash then there is a problem. Thats one place to start.
