Default Check Engine Light/ PCM

So I think I fried my computer now. All of the dash lights work but the check engine light does not light up when the key is inserted and turned to the on postion. Also I hook up a code scanner to it and it will not allow me to read codes or check anything. Anyway I can tell if I toasted the computer.

See, now you were all worried about tossing a fuel pump in there and whatnot. Didnt I tell you to check the circuits for power first. You'da been mad as hell if you threw a fuel pump in there and still had the same problems.

Atleast you got it figured out now.
