Hi zeltyone, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

To detrmine if its a fuel or spark problem do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 in away from ground have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor camshaft and crankshaft sensors and computer. Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

I have replaced all these items and it still wont start. Throttle position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, pcv valve, the ecm computer. I have tested the fuel pressure at the schrader valve its at 47, We also sprayed fuel in the throttle body and that is the only time it fired for a split second. Can the TCC selenoid tell the car to go in limp mode on this old of a car? Could it be the TCC or not, or some other sensor? I have run out of ideas and almost money. Please help!
