just hit replay to question
only way we can keep up with what is you are trying to do

the( ECM /PCM /Computer )job is to ground the injector and its a circuit board

Yes TPS is the throttle position sensor
see if its volts high then the computer will shut down the injector
this is what was called a flood mode

TPS volts should be under 1 volts
and as u step on the gas the volts should start to increase
if it volts high at idle disconnect the TPS and try it, crank ,check if u get injector pulse
and if u have it then I would say replace the TPS
good luck

When key on you should have a battery volts at one of the injector wires and when cranking the computer should pulse ground the other wire causing the injector to pulse on of f remove the injector plug wire and stick a noid light in crank the engine does it flash if all ok it should and then check your fuel pump and fuel pressure

I wouldn’t take the distributor out just for trying
rotating the distributor left and right should compensate for any timing of if any
if not then you are looking in the wrong area
and or timing chain is out of timing
