Yellow spark means the ignition system is weak, Do you have injection pulses at the injector/s? Try starter fluid thru the throttle body and see what happens

I did spray starter fluid in the throttle body. The engine did not start or even to appear to desial. I would think even with starter fluid having a low flash point I would have gotten the engine to desial. I am completely stumped. I am installing a new computer to see if this does anyting.
