ignition troubles

I can't get the car to start. I have spark at the plugs all the way around. I've replaced the module, cap, rotor, coil, plugs, wires. I disconnected the wire on the firewall and am at top dead center. All the wires are in the right spot but it won't start. I tried adjusting the tps, and it didn't work. Could the ECM be causing the problem?

If youre getting spark it probably means youre not getting fuel. Hook a fuel pressure gauge up the the schrader valve on the fuel rail. Do you hear the fuel pump come on when you turn the key over?

i was messing with it today and got it started don't what i did because i dont even know. the problem i am having now is at idle, when i go to rev it up it is very sluggish until it reaches 2500-3000rpm before it seems to pick up. when in drive, i stand on the break pedal and slowly give it gas to see if it will turn the tires it won't go past 1000rpm. any ideas?

Check for vacum leaks, check all the sensors to make sure theyre all set correctly.

No codes? What's your fuel pressure? Have you tried unplugging the MAF to note the result? Idle may be an issue b/c you played with the tps and you don't know yet what your fuel pressure is.
