Need more info.
-Did you just put the motor back together?
-Did you come out to start your car and it just wouldn't start?
-Was is running before? and what did you change to cause it not to run?
-What ECU are you running?
-Yr/Make/Model of the car its in
-Original wire harness? or ghettofied?

I could go on for days.. It's hard to analyze yor issue without the appropriate information.

Fuel, and spark are all you need, providing it's sparking when the piston is in the right place.
Check your cam timing, and make sure it's gas that's making your spark plugs wet.
