Default Engine doesn't start after replacing timing chain!

I have a 2007 Mazda 3 2.3 I replaced timing chain I went by the book had timing plate locking pin and timing is good but engine still doesn't want to start when I turn key the crankshaft rotates Terrace Park coming out of the coils but feels like there's no compression it sounds like an electric motor and there is pressure coming out from each cylinder any advice will be appreciated thank you.

If it sound like there is no compression, than you most likely didn't install timing chain properly.
Remove spark plug on Cyl #1, put cylinder #1 in TDC and recheck your timing marks. You can do this without taking all on part.
