HELP, no crank, spark or fuel!

I bought a 1997 4runner. When I bought it the previous owner told me he’d been having periodic problems with it not starting. He had replaced the battery, alternator and starter. It needed headgaskets so I haven’t driven it much. But started right up fine everytime I would need to move it around the yard or whatever. Went to start it up and it wouldn’t start. Turned the key to the start position and it does absolutely nothing. So went down and jumped the starter to make sure it wasn’t bad and it started cranking. So I found out that the ground going to the starting relay was bad and redid that and now it cranks but no spark or fuel. So has to be bigger problem. I have no idea where to go from here. Completely lost.

leaning fuel Pump if the battery is good and you've checked the fuses.
 
Yeah you can work down the list. Can spray in some fuel into intake, if it fires up then there is no fuel.

Also turn the key and go listen near the tank in the back seat for the fuel pump wine. You can loosen the fuel rails to see if fuel sprays out if you hear the pump to make sure pressure is building.

Check out chris fixes videos, he has some good steps of what to check on cars not starting,
