Begin with the basics.

If you have spark at the plugs, hook up the timing light on #1 cylinder.
Does it flash on the advance side of the the timing mark when cranking?

You stated that the plugs were wet with fuel. Are you sure? It could be oil residue.
Put in a fresh set of good plugs and try again.
Try spraying starting fluid into the intake mainafold.

Useing a long screw driver, put it against an injector and rest your ear against the handle and then crank the engine. You will hear the injector clicking as it works.

Next, check for any vacume leaks between the throttle body and air box.

Also check for blown fuses and the contacts under the cover on the air box.....
