Why did you replace the starter if it was cranking? If an engine won't start, you have to find out why before you start replacing parts. Now you're in a position of wondering what part is bad and if you've made it worse by possibly installing something wrong. Go back to the basics, even on a computerized engine: Fuel, spark and compression are the best places to start. Try a little starting fluid to see if it will run. If it starts with starting fluid but dies when you stop spraying, you aren't getting fuel. It could be pump, filter injectors or something else. If it won't start with the starting fluid, pull a plug wire, connect it to a spare sparkplug, lay the temporary plug on a solid metal piece of the engine and have someone crank the engine while you watch the plug. If you don't get a spark, find out why. Last, if you have fuel and spark, check the compression. If compression is WAAAY down it could be timing belt.
