Before any work was done, was the vehicle checked to see if there was fuel pressure to the rail as well as spark to the plugs?

Okay, if it had spark and fuel, it should have run unless it was out of time or the fuel isn't getting into the engine. Try this. See if it will start with starting fluid for a couple seconds and let me know what happens.

What is the "Red Light" indicating? You haven't mentioned that. Also, it sounds like a bad fuel pump or plugged fuel filter. Have you confirmed that fuel pump pressure is within the manufacturer's specs?

One other question. When your friend unplugged the PCM, was the battery disconnected both when disconnecting and reconnecting?

Okay, next concern. If the battery wasn't disconnected, it may have damaged the PCM when the replacement was installed. Also, if it is the security light, I hate to say it, but you will need to have the computer flashed by a dealer.
