The past few days we have replaced the alternator, and the starter. everything that has been replaced previously can probably be eliminated because it worked before the alternator died...
After we replaced the alternator and hooked up jumper cables... nothing
we replaced the starter... charged the battery and... click... car turns over, can see the belt moving and all but no start.
We took the battery to walmart had them drain it/charge it and test it. said its fine.
I don't know what it could be. A friend of mine said we should spray some throttle body/air filter cleaner in it and try again with a charged battery. and ill be trying that tomorrow.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

welcome!
ok, make sure your battery terminals are good!.. i cant stress this enough.
second. you said it turns over and over and over but wont start correct?
all you need for a motor to run is: compression, fuel and spark.
do a compression test to make sure all cylinders have good compression.
next you need to check for spark, as your cranking the car, one by one, pull a spark plug out and ground it to see if it sparking. if they all spark and it has compression, you know its not getting fuel.
for fuel, make sure you hear your pump priming. if you can take the rail off and see if injectors are spitting fuel that would be best, im sure there is other methods you can use like testing the impedience etc. just search for it..
if you checked all these things and still a no go. then your timing must be off. search to find info on how to set timing properly.
im assuming since it was running and then parked for a while mice got into it and messed some wires up. idk.. follow the steps i out lined for you and you'll be fine. everything i told you to do is easily searchable.. you need to learn how to search. most people are not as nice as i am and will rip you a new one, since your new, ill help you out. goodluck, and if you still got questions post them
