No crank means the starter is not cranking the engine. Waste of time and money if you did all that for a no-crank issue, wasn’t it? Might be cheaper to tow it to a real mechanic.

If the starter is turning the engine and it won’t start, that is a crank-no-start, not a no-crank. If it cranks, spray some starter fluid or brake clean into the intake when cranking and see if it fires for a moment. If it does, it isn’t a spark problem, its a fuel problem. If it doesn’t, it is more likely a spark problem.

Beyond that… might be helpful to us if you told us what engine your have and how many miles are on it.
