An engine needs 3 things to operate, fuel, air ( compression ), and spark ( correctly timed ). Go about this methodically check for spark at the plugs, if yes then check timing, then look for fuel at the fuel rail and then whether it is getting into the engine, is it getting air? are there vacuum leaks? check compression, is the cat plugged? air needs to get out as much as it needs to get in.

If you spray a little fuel into the intake does it start? that is an easy way to tell if it is a fuel problem whether it is a sensor or injector not firing if it is fuel injected or plugged fuel filter, is the new fuel pump coming on? these are all things that need to be looked at.

It looks like you replaced some parts pertaining to both fuel and spark, eliminate one at a time, pull the fuel rail if you have to and watch the injectors fire if it is injected or check a plug for wetness if it is carbureted ( or look down the throttle body for fuel spray before moving on to the next idea.

Once you have completely eliminated one factor it has to be one of the remaining 2.

Think about what happened when it was last running for clues, what were the circumstances that made it quit?

The problem lies in the starter solenoid/relay system and sounds like the relay is faulty or a wire is disconnected. Follow the positive cable (usually red) from the battery - the other end should be connected to the solenoid/starter.

What should you check next if you already replaced the battery and the starter and your vehicle still will not start?

Since you changed your battery and starter I'm assuming you are getting fuel and spark is your problem. You should check your starter relay, the wires from the relay to your starter, the wires from your battery to the relay, the wires from your locking cylinder to the relay, and your locking cylinder. You might also check your alternator. You can take it to a parts store to have it bench tested for free.
