Maxima won't crank!! Help please!!!!

I have a 2K Maxima and it is having problems cranking! I am not sure what the problem could be seeing as how I have already put a new motor in it, it has a new starter, new battery, new plugs, new cam shaft and crank sensor, new oil sending unit. I just pulled the plugs out and they were all soaked with gas! All the coils are sparking but still has trouble cranking..If anyone can help it would be much apprciated...

Are you saying the starter is not cranking? If so, check out the starter (and battery voltage). However, it looks like the fuel pump and injectors are working since your plugs are wet ..... .

if it is flooding the engine, it could be leaking fuel injectors.

is the motor turning over but won't start?

or, starter not engaging?

Make sure the gear on the starter motor has 11 teeth on it. If it doesn't, the engine cranks too slow to develop a strong enough signal from the crankshaft sensor.
