Apologies for the overpost, but it's fixed!

I got it! I found a listing of what the coolant temp and ambient temp resistance readings are supposed to be, and since i'd already replaced the coolant temp sensor (with no change), I did a reading on the ambient air (or air charge, or MAT, there were several names for it), and got a reading of 5k ohm at 92 degrees. It should have read ~2200 ohm (colder temps yield higher resistances) I calculated this, and a couple other tests, to be off (low) by about 32-37 degrees F, depending on the temperature. Bought a new one at advance (P# WT2000) for $23.49, and she starts right up now!

The info for the resistance readings came from here

Hopefully this info saves somebody else a lot of time and money! Test $25 sensors and replace before buyin $100 coils and $50 injectors haha.
