Start with the distributor. The distributor is self-sufficient to produce sparks without the PCM.

If the PCM is with immobiliser, you would need to get it programmed, if not, the PCM is not the cause of no sparks condition.

Immonilizer = security system whereby there is a key symbol in dash or a blinking red led indicating it has been triggered and would not allow starting.

If the light is still blinking, the programming is not correct and unless this is resolved there is nothing else you can do.

If this has been resolved, you need to start loking at why you don't have sparks and as I have suggested, start with the distributor, particularly the ignition coil.
