My 98 sunfire turns over but wont start,when i turn the key to start i hear the fuel pump turn on so i dont no?
When you changed the alternator, did you disconnect the battery? You mentioned that some items were blown, maybe you shorted out the module if you have not spark. You can get a spark tester for cheap, or just remove #1 spark plug and hold next to the engine block while someone cranks the engine, if you see spark then you might be ok. Next check PSI on fuel pump. Only need spark and fuel to make it work.

maybe its ure batery try jumping the car or if that doesent work try hitting the starter with something hard and the car should start!hope this helps
I'd be double checking the alternator you installed even if its new but especially if it's used , remove the belt and see how smoothly it's pulley turns bec a worn out or seized pulley could cause the engine not turn fast enough to start and check it's wiring over closely and all the fuses in both of the fuse boxes.Also be sure you check the fuses closely and any relays dealing the starter,fuel pump and ASD system and if possible have a free scan performed on it just in case.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way check the starter , battery ,alternator, engine block ground posts just in case their loose or rusted or corroded and wiring closely and the ignition wire, plus be sure that the ignition ,steering wheel and gear shifter are in the right position bec all of the things I've mentioned can cause starting issues.You can clean these connectors etc with a wire brush , sandpaper , a file one by one to be sure that their clean, solid and tight.
how did you check fuses by pulling them out or by using tester which is the right way to check fuses
