Have you checked the timing? Have you replaced the fuel filter? What fuel pressure reading are you getting? Have you checked for vacuum leaks? What does the shop manual say in reference to the 14 code?
It's probably something very simple. Start with those and tell us the results.

That 14 code for the PIP is your problem. PIP is Profile Ignition Pickup from what I remember. That means that the computer is not seeing the timing signal from the distributor. Get a wiring diagram and check the wires between the TFI module and the computer. Check for shorts to ground and continuity of the wires themselves.

Just because you replaced the ignition module, the coil and the stator(the pickup inside the distributor) doesn't mean one of these couldn't have went bad again. i suspect one of these has gone dead again. First I would unhook the connector at the coil with the two small wires and with the IGNITION SWITCH ON and using a test light see if you have power at one of the wires.(as you may know one of these comes from the switch and the other goes to the distribuor after going through the coil, so only one wire will be live). Hang in there.
