Try a few more times on the code reader. I have on occassions made mistakes with the code reader and got "communicate with PCM" messages. 1) Loose connection and 2) Forgot to turn ignition to on . If you confirm those are not the problem, check Crankshaft Position sensor (CKP) and Camshaft Position sensor (CMP).

and of course, check wiring harness. The last CEGer who had no start issues and wiring problems had the issue being the TPS wiring.
