Hello I have a 2002 Saturn sl2. Wife left lights on at work and tried to have it jumped. It started and ran real ruff for a few seconds then died. The man helping her for some reason switched jumper cable positions and his battery sparked to high heaven. Now the car will crank but no start. I'm not getting spark or fuel and I've already changed the ignition control module and the cps. Fuses and relays good and checked the resistance on the coils and their fine. I tried to read any trouble codes with my little obdII pocket scanner and with the key in the run position it said "no link"
Can anyone point me in the right direction pls. Last thing I can think is maybe the ECM got fried when cables were switched. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

OUCH! sounds like by reversing the polarity the "good Samaritan" blew out your ECM. Unless you can replace it yourself you might want to call a place that will tow it for free to fix it

Absolutely if the TPS throttle position is out how can your EFI computer communicate with it if it is malfunctioning!!! Replace the throttle position switch and drive on
see what voltage is at the battery should be about 12.5-do the dash lights die down when trying to crank.try give it a jump start if that fails starter could be screwed
Guessing there may be two issues. One might be "burning and arching" of the fuse box. My 1999 SL2 would periodically not even make a noise to turn over and that fixed that. It also had issues that some electrical components wouldn't work at the same time.
if all it does is click with a new battery it is not the alternator because all the alternator does is charge the battery i would take the starter or selinoid off if it isnt built in with the starter and have it tested the same as you did the battery
