Default 91 accord won't start, need help

i have a 91 accord lx auto that i was having problems with it shifting i found that the auto trans computer was fried. i replaced it and started the car it started for about thirty seconds, then died. i tried to restart it and no luck. went and started looking under the hood for problems. found there was a lot of oil in the spark plug tubes. so i replaced the valve cover and spark plug seals, while i was at it i replace the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. car still will not start, it cranks and cranks but will not turn over. it has a new battery and i have even tried to jump it with another car, no luck. if anyone can give me some ideas i would greatly appreciate it.
