Have you checked for spark? Is the check engine light on? If so what are the trouble codes?

I just replaced plugs and wires 5k miles and no check engine light is on

Plugs and wires are good but see if your engine actually has spark. You can also check compression. Does the engine turn over but not start or nothing at all?

New spark plugs & wires do not equal spark. Test for actual spark and for actual fuel coming out injectors. Which is missing or do you have both or one or the other? Your guessing otherwise and you already spent a nice pile of money.

You could spray starter fluid or carb/choke cleaner in the intake/throttle body to see if it cranks up.

It sparks and it cranks over but won't start and I did the starting fluid and it starts for a second then dies again

I respectfully suggest you take it to a reputable mechanic for proper diagnosis. Throwing parts at it may be more expensive that getting it repaired at a shop.
