Start with the basics. Most sensors will not cause a no start condition and when it won't start cold in the morning, the computer is ignoring most of the sensors anyway (open loop ). Spray some starting fluid into the throttle body to see if the engine momentarily starts. If there is no attempt to start, check for spark and go from there.You have to atleast determine what system is malfuntioning, you spent enough money on it already.
Most of the parts you changed won't cause your no start problem. Why you replaced the starter, battery and solenoid when the engine cranks OK is a puzzle to me. As mentioned, check codes and post them.
