Did you check for a blown injector fuse? Fuel to injectors doesn't mean injectors are firing.

Fuel reaching the injectors and spark at the plugs are good signs, but that still does not prove the engine has everything it needs to start. I would check three things next: injector pulse, fuel pressure, and compression/timing.

First, make sure the injectors are actually being commanded to fire with a noid light or scan tool. Fuel at the rail/injectors does not mean fuel is entering the cylinders. Then check actual fuel pressure, because weak pressure can still give a no-start. After that, do a compression test and verify cam/crank timing, especially if it cranks faster than normal or sounds uneven.

If there is spark but no injector pulse, I would look at ECU inputs such as the cam/crank signal, immobilizer status, and wiring. A failing camshaft position sensor can sometimes cause a crank/no-start even when other basics seem present.

In short: confirm injector pulse, correct fuel pressure, compression, and timing before replacing parts.
