I agree...if the hose is disconnected on the bottom of the Idle Control Valve or at the bottom of the intake, the engine will not start.
Hate to use this expression, but, Been There, Done That.
1. You have spark.
2. You checked spark plug wires firing order.
3. You checked timing.
4. Are the spark plugs wet with fuel?
5. Is the vacuum hose in good shape and connected at the top of the Idle Control Valve going to the intake connection?
6. Did you remove the Idle Control Valve to make sure it is clean and slightly open when it is not operated?
7. Did you remove the air cleaner and slightly push down on the air flow plate while someone is turning the engine over?
