Friend's car won't start..

He's got a 89' Trans Am with TBI. With help from looking at my starter we hooked his up, but it won't start. All of his lights come on now, which they didn't before. His engine won't even turn over or click. It just does nothing. We tried tighetning the battery cables,but it still didn't start. Any ideas???

Everything

His power windows work, the flashers, the oil temp and other gauges would go all the way to the right. Panel lights came on. Everything came on that I know of.
