well spark + fuel = fire, you have spark so you must be missing fuel. is your fuel pump working? plugged filter maybe?

Check fuel.
1. Make sure EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED. double check
2. Crank over engine five or so times.
3. Unplugg fuel pump connector
4. Crank engine over a couple of more times to releive fuel pressure a bit.
5. At the fuel rail double check you have the fuel hoses attached to the right sides. Then Remove the return line from the fuel line (use a cloth over it so you don't get fuel sprayed into your face)
6. If you got fuel leaking (and fuel sprayed out cause there was pressure) then u are ok.

My guess is you forgot to ground something. Check the ground straps then, as someone else how to check to make sure your making a spark

you primed the fuel lines right?

this has happened to a couple people because they forgot to jumper the fuel pump plug in the diagnostic box and prime the lines.
