Default Starting issue

2003 4.6 liter engine. Replaced engine and can't get it to start. When key is turned on all of the gage lights come on and go off as everything is ok. Checked with a meter and shows no code. Had a fuel injector leaking and have repaired that.
any thoughts

"Can't get it to start" doesn't tell us much. That's a very vague description. Help us help you with more details. Does it crank? Do we assume it has fuel if you replaced an injector? Etc, etc.

Sorry. Yes. It cranks fine and sounds like it tries to start.

What did you put in it? Reman, used?

Is it actually trying to fire, or does it just crank? Is the THEFT light flashing?
