I don't think you are ****ed at all. Do you have white smoke when you are cranking? When you turn the ignition "ON" do you have a good drop in your battery meter? Is your tach bouncing when you crank?

You think your CPS may have went? If you batteries are good-n-charged you should get tach bounce. Try to jump it with another vehicle and see if the tach bounces. No smoke means no fuel (I believe). Does/did it ever cut off and start back up recently?

Fuse #22. It powers the PCM. Did you pull it out and check with an ohm meter? These are under hood fuses and not the ones in drivers compartment, just in case you did not know.
