99 Solara 2.2 cranks, wont start

I was driving last week and my car suddenly died out on me. I found out that the timing belt had broke. After replacing the timing belt, other belts, water pump, timing belt tensioner and idler pulley, I cranked the car over and it still wont start. I pulled all 4 spark plug wires and I get a spark from all of them. You can smell fuel while trying to crank it over. Any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Yep, check the timing. I'd read the sticky which has a few threads discussing timing belt replacement. You'll see also that it's possible to set the timing to the wrong "timing marker" located behind the cam sprocket...

x3 lol the knock pin should be at 12o clock at TDC and if you have the valve cover off there will be dots that should be lined up at that position.
