What kinda ECU are you using?
Are you getting spark from the plugs?
Is your fuel pump priming?

I am not sure what kind of ECU it is cuz it came with the car when i got it.... i went and bought the spark tester (the one with little bulb in ther) and it seemed to be flashing when i tried to started.. and the fuel seemed to be priming cuz i can hear it when i turn the egnition on and its shows 40psi at the guage

You mentioned it was rebuilt, its probably the timing.

double check your map sensor connector and tps?? i think.... they have the same connector and if you mix them up the car wont start, or will start and run like straight ***

Check tps and map as stated before, also try giving it gas in various positions and cranking it.
