You replaced all those parts, yet you forgot the most common thing to check first... your fuses and relays

More than likley not the computer. Recheck wiring, and with key switch on, do you have voltage to the distributor?

I did check the fuses and relays I broke down and took it to Darby GMC in Venice and found out the ICM was bad because of a short in the wire leading to it $575 later and it starts and runs fine. I had no way of knowing without a computer diagnostics.... Thanks guys for the replies
