First check your fuses for the PCM, if you have or know of someone that has software (HP Tuners, EFI Live ect) you could see if you can communicate with the PCM..

I was going to ask if your friend disconnected the computer and battery before welding on the car.

If the ALDL is still alive, there is at least one code, probably more that reveals the status of the PCM if it hasn't been totally killed. I'm looking for the list but it won't be a "P" code. I think you would see a DTC that starts with the letter "U".
