Try a puff of starting fluid or inject some into a vacuum line to see if it'll catch.

These tend to fail, one for right bank(1-2-3-4) other for left bank(5-6-7-8). Try switching them around, erase checks and try to start the car, if checks come back with 5-6-7-8 misfire that's your culprit. Replaced one of these on my '98 a while back with the same problem your having.

Default I tried that

I have not erased the codes but tried that part on the upper easier accesible module.
Tomorrow with less cold( 7degrees celsius below zero) outside will I try to change place with the other module .
