hmmm...
check the connections to the starter...
measure amps on the battery and look for draw when you crank it, if no appreciable current drop, then go downstream and check ignition connections, clean terminal posts on batt and starter relay,
check fuses.
Verify fuel pressure and operation of fuel pump. If good, verify spark. You said you had it, but how did you know? Screwdriver in the spark boot check?
Let us know a few more details to help you troubleshoot...
Good luck....
