should be good to go, check your timing marks one more time! may need to prime the car or turn it overa couple times b4 u get it to turn over b/c the fuel isn't pressurized right now.

you can cycle the key a couple of times and that should help.

What work did you do to the car? If you did anything with the oil pump I would recommend pulling the spark plugs out, and disconnecting the coil pack and turning the key for a good 30 seconds to prime the oil pump. Do that and you should be good to go.

Well then I'd say turn the key and let 'er roll. Remember to run easy for the first 100 or so miles and check the torque on the head bolts after that you should be good to go.
