Just because the battery voltage is good doesn't mean the battery is. You have to load test a battery and find out what Cold Cranking or Cranking Amps it has left.

Did you unplug any sensors? Any CEL's?

Check the 10a interior ignition fuse behind the change holder compartment near your left knee.

Also check cam sensor (broken wires), broken cam sensor, crank sensor plug (top left of valve cover), and ignition connectors (broken wires).

Do you hear the fuel pump??
