Crank no start? Any check engine light? Have you tested for spark, fuel and compression?

Yes, I getting spark from the plugs, and receiving fuel also replaced the wires and plugs which were found bad. Replaced the positive side of the battery terminal.

When you replaced the postive side of battery cable, did you make sure all wires got re- connected? There may be a fuseable link in one of those wires, also. If you've got compression(no broken timing belt), the the injectors are not being acitivated by the computer (ECU). Lack of power to it? defective? Bad sensor? (would show codes).
