850 not starting 850 1996

Greetings to all. Have a pesky problem. Car sat for 5 days after topping up with fuel. Cold outside, in the teens. Won't start. Cranking over fine; on charger at 12.6 volts. 42lbs. on fuel rail. Coil lead shows a series of good sparks across an air gap to ground when cranking. OBD2 shows a fault P0336- CPS "A" Circuit Range/Performance; which I found peculiar since I have good spark.(I think) Anyway, rather than go get a new sensor for $70dealer/$50Europarts/and I want a fix now, I grabbed one for $20 out of a 850 involved in an accident at junk yard. Installed sensor, no change in condition. A few years ago I replaced the cam sensor. If I remember right, there was no spark when that badboy failed. It seems the injectors aren't firing, as I smell no gas, no firing or sputter. Open for suggestions. Thanks
