check to see if #30 fuse is blown...its for the fuel bowl heater, and they are common to short out. the fuse also controls the pcm.
also, the cps could be the problem. give those and check and report back, im sure some of the experts will be waking up soon
good luck...

Do you hear any clicking when you turn the key? Try jumping the big terminals on the starter solenoid it is located on the passenger side inner fender right by the vacuum pump and right behind the battery.
