What does the live data show? Open circuits, shorted circuits.

Without spark, the tachometer won't show anything. Have you checked the battery & fuses? How about battery cables & connections? Maybe the ignition switch?

Is the distributor getting power. When cranking you should have 12 volts at the distributor. With the ignition switch in the run position you should have about 6 to 8 volts. Did you have the new PCM programmed to the vehicle using your VIN? Jim

Another thought, is this a security system problem, if equipped? Jim

If you have no spark it is most likely a problem with the distributor. The tach signal is directly tied to the ignition control module in the distributor. It could also be the pick up coil in the distributor.
