Default Dazed and confused

My 97 4.6 caught on fire. it burned the wires and hoses mainly, a few components have "melting injuries" I got the pigtails for the injectors and new injectors, new plugs, wires, hoses, and put it all back together. Now it just cranks, but won't start. (PS I did fix the fuel leak fix was the problem in the first place) but if anybody knows where I can start (since I can't get reading since the battery was pulled) I'm kind of stumped! after all I've done for 3 days worth of work; Dazed and Confused🤠

Electrical damage is a real possibility. Do you have fuel pressure ? Spark ? Do all accessories work ?
