First, check for fuel pressure. there should be a bleeder valve on the fuel rail. use safety glasses and a rag and carefully depress the valve with the ignition (engine NOT running) you should get a decent amount of fuel spray. If no fuel pressure, it's probably the fuel pump or relay. If you DO have pressure, then check for spark. If there is no spark, it's probably the coil/coilpack.
It has fuel pressure and I just replaced ignition coil and igniter where is the fuel relay and coil pack located at so it wouldn't be the distributor I really need to find the problem

If it has fuel pressure, then the fuel relay is fine. If you replaced the coil, you SHOULD have spark, but double-check. there could be other reasons for no spark. If spark is good in all 4/6 cylinders, check to see if your fuel injectors are spraying. This should be done very carefully for obvious reasons. If there's fuel and spark, but no fire,check compression, maybe your valve timing is way off but that's not likely.
Just had timing belt and new water pump installed do u think timing belt jumped timing the reason y it turn over but want crank
It's possible. Take the spark plugs out and use a pencil or something to stick in the #1 spark plug hole (don't let it fall in) and turn the engine over by hand. When the #1 piston is all the way up, you have found Top Dead Center. Make sure your timing marks on the crank pulley or harmonic balancer are correct, and pull the timing cover to see if the timing gear is still in the correct position. Usually, though if your valve timing is off, you will get pre-ignition pops coming from the intake.
Will the distributor stop it from turning over...what would u suggest me to do to resolving the problem really want it to crank it just isn't firing to turn over to crank any suggestions I placed it on a machine it isn't tell me the problem
The distributor could cause the problem, but you have to test for spark. either pull one of the plugs or use an extra plug and try having someone try to start the car with the spark plug in one of the wires and the threaded part of the plug touching a metal ground. use rubber-handled pliers to hold the plug so you dont get shocked
I need to have someone check all the spark plugs it can cause the car to not crank or just replace all spark plugs to see if thats the problem before I go farther where is the distributor located

You installed a coil and igniter and you don't know where the distributor is?

When you turn the key to the on position (do not try to start), does the check engine light come on for a couple of seconds and then go out?
Yes the check engine light comes on it only does it when car is in drive
So you turn the key on and ther is no check engine light unless you put the transmission in drive and then the check engine light comes on?
What engine do you have?
I have a v6 6 cylinder
