My mini won't start

I have a brand new battery, spark plugs, ignition coils, clutch, and starter. And it turns over but it doesn't fire. Help I've been without my car for a month. Oh and I have also just changed the oil and all my fluids are good.

Ok, Kaylene,
What you need to do, is have someone put on a OBD2 analyzer on your car, to discover why you have no spark or fuel.
Fuel: electric fuel pump may be bad. The fuel filter may be clogged, the relay may be bad, the wiring on the fuel pump may have corroded, etc.

Electrical system:
Your onboard computer may have a fault. One of the engine sensors may be the fault. The grounding may be off. Many other electrical issues can cause no spark.

Does it turn over? (if not, possible bad starter motor, broken cam chain,etc)
Can you hear the fuel pump, when you turn on the ignition?
Are the spark plugs firing?

Do not give up on getting it going again. Maybe you can connect with some NAM people in your area, if so, they may be able to come to help you get it going again.

It does turn over but it doesn't fire. It sounds like the battery is dead or a sensor is off. I don't know what to do it's been off for a month and a half I need a car. It's a 2007

I am sorry that this is going on. You could get help, with a member in your area. Just say what state and county you are in and maybe someone in the area can connect up with you.
I am in southern Oregon
Without more information, I can not really help you.
I am sure the battery needs to be charged at this point, but you still need the codes read for us to be of any real help online.

There are people here, that could help you. I will do what I can, if you can get me the codes, which will be a P with four numbers (ex: P1248)

If the car "turns over" then the battery is not dead. Please provide the below information:

Year - 2007
Model - Hardtop? Convertible? Supercharged/Turbocharged?
Miles - How many?
Transmission - Automatic or Manual?
State you are in?
Nearby City?
Why did you have new battery, spark plugs, ignition coils, clutch, and starter put in?
When did the car run last?
