have you already gone down the list of tests:
1) check for spark: unplug a cable from spark plug one, insert screw driver in plug wire and set close to a ground point. have someone try to turn the car over and watch for the arc from the screw driver to the ground point (e.g. one of the bolts on the upper strut mount)

if you have spark then...
2) check for fuel: disconnect the banjo bolt from front of the fuel rail (side closest to the front of the car). have a rag and/or container handy to catch fuel. have someone try to turn the car over to check that fuel is flowing through the hose.

check that all fuses are good both in the engine bay fuse block as well in the driver side kick panel. double-check if you've checked once.

I hate to say it but have you done the basic steps above? Just cause you put new NGK plugs in it dosent mean its going to start. If you do not know what a lot of this means then you need to have a mechanic take a look at your car. I have seen people time and time again throw money and new parts at their car and get nowhere. So I ask again have you done the steps above to see which way we need to point you?
