OK

All is NOT lost. There are TWO things that can cause NO COMMS. A shorted or damaged comms wire OR loss of power to the module. Most likely the BCM.

Your going to need that meter. There are TWO or more 12 VDC power supplies to the BCm and PCM. One is connected to battey feed and is HOT at ALL TIMES. The other is switched power from the ignition switch and is HOT in RUN and STATRT. I bet you missing the 12 VDC from the ignition feed.

Check all the BCm and PCM fuses. There are many.

Cool. Now jump M, B, and G together. See if the car runs, and check for communication again.

I have communication now with the PCM and IPC, everything else shows No Comm. still.

Engine will not run now however, fires and instantly dies again.

Now that the IPC and PCM are communicating, can you get any codes?
