Look at the Fuel Injection relay. I had a no spark situation with the TPS ground circuit code that was caused by bad wiring to the relay. Its located on top of the fan shroud near the drivers side. Another thing you will notice is that with the key in the ignition in the II position, the check engine light will not light up as it normally does before starting. If you see the Check Engine light working like normal, its not the FI relay.
