Changed TPS, idle control valve, checked fuel pump. Any suggestions on what to do next?

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Have you checked for both spark and fuel to the engine? Try this. See if it starts for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does, then it is a fuel related issue. If it doesn't, suspect it is ignition related.

Take a look through these links and see if they help.

Let me know the results if you try the starting fluid.
