Check fuel pressure.

If you are getting spark, that is the next big question.

But, are you getting ENOUGH gas?

Try pressing the pedal to the floor, and see if it will start.

Probably an hour labor to diagnose, and then whatever (if any) to fix.

Scan tools that can do what you need are hideously expensive, measured in thousands of dollars...... I have been looking for a software package that can serve that purpose, but, details on them are sketchy at best...... Needless to say, I haven't found one yet.

If it was running fine before the trans replace I would put my money on the CPS. If you didn't remove it before changing the trans, there is a good chance it's damaged. How did you check it? You could also check all grounds and fuses and relays. And get a fuel pressure tester to check it properly.
