when you say does not trun over you mean it does not fire or does not turn over? both are very different issues!
What did you service? did you play with the air filter?, did you remove the Air Flow Meter to do that? sounds to me like the AFM is not working, or you have not connected the pipes from filter to AFM to inlet manifold properly.

I'm with Lee on this one - check the AFM plug is in and the big convoluted hose from the AFM to the throttle body isn't split.
