Default 2001 Volvo S40 timing problems

Hey guys I have done the timing belt and replaced all the seals. Now it wont start. All of the timing marks are correct and I did spin engine over by hand and nothing was hitting. I replaced spark plugs and the wiring harness that goes to the vvt sensor and ignition coils. I cleared the computer of all the codes and still nothing. I am getting fuel but it seems that their is no ignition. No fuses are blown I have checked. What should I do next? I have been trying for about 4 months. I need help please. Thanks Eric

First make sure the battery is fully charged. I've seen a weak battery cause a no start. Next check the spark color. It should be blue (electric blue) not white or yellow.

Also, make sure you put the coils and wires on the correct cylinders. If you replaced the harness there is a chance the order is incorrect.
