I beg to differ, resetting the pcm and being able to move the car ruled out the timing chain and gears and a plethora of other potential mechanical problems as the cause.

Troubleshooting is an elimination game, I have eliminated the engine as a failure source, as well as reduced the probability that the fuel delivery system failed.

I can hear the fuel pump when I turn the key on. Are you saying there is no process to obtain the codes without a reader (one of the four questions I asked)?

BTW, you left out air when you were listing the things the engine needs to run. You may find "suck (intake fuel/air mix), squeeze (compression), bang (ignition/power), blow (exhaust)" useful to help you remember the four cycles of the internal combustion engine.

Thanks for your response.
