You need to enter diagnosis and evaluation mode. First, even though it is an OBDI car, have the codes, if any, read. If it points you in a direction, go with it. If nothing shows, start with the basics and evaluate for spark, fuel, and air flow. Each will lead you down a different path. Let us know which you are following and then we may be able to be more helpful.

When you turn the key, what do you get? Nothing? Engine just "clicks"? Engine cranks but does not start? Engine starts but runs poorly? Also, what module did you replace?
