Sounds like your MAF went out. Unplug it and see if the car will start.

Next guess would be the crankshaft sensor for the flywheel CKPS(POS).

 

Car needs fuel+spark+correct timing. Since you didn't touch timing only 2 possibilities left. You can buy starting fluid and spray a little into intake- if the engine gives you few cycles then you have fuel problem if it remains dead- you have no spark. I'd check if you fully plugged the connectors after repairs and if you haven't blown any fuses along the way.
