could be a number of things but have you pulled a plug and checked as if it has fuel it will be soaking wet but bone dry if the injectors aren't firing

when iv got the ignition on, the idle control valve has a buzzing or humming sound to it.. is this normal? could this have something to do with it?

just been out, cleaned up a few of the sensors. now when im trying to turn it over, its dying to start.. got a pop out the back of the exhaust. does it look like it could be the sensors?

if you have changed the engine your crank and cam sensor mite be the wrong way round, ignitor could be naff, e.c.u could be goosed

if its now trying to start its most likely its just flooded, you will need to remove plugs and let cylinders/plugs dry out, then re try
