Why wont my car start?

My car wont start... I've replaced the starter, installed a new alternator, and battery plus I checked the fuses and they seem to be ok. Any ideas on why my car still wont start?

Try the plugs, plug wires, distributer cap. Check for water in the fuel, check for fuel pump and check for a clogged fuel filter.Good luck.

Im a former mechanic myself have you checked the computer yet if it is dead your car wont start also some honda's civic and accord have a valve in the back of the engine when they go bad the car wont start and its a long process of fixing it lots of parts and time so check the computer first if not take it to your mechanic but shop around bewteen local mechanic get a opoin ion from a couple different mechanics

All the above advise is good, some cars have a fuel pump relay which controls the fuel pump and wont start if the relay is bad.

you have fail to tell if the engine is even turning, does it crank & wont turn over?, need more details,could be many reasons,the most simple..gas,...it could be a problem with the fueling system etc,etc
