    Brandon..

    Please try what we chatted about.
    ICM harness to ensure it's getting the right signals from the sensors.

    Clean and dry plugs. I'd like to see you have the plugs out overnight and or while you do the harness. That way they aren't fuel fouled and not throwing a spark.

    Unplug the maf and try to start the car wtih a little throttle.

    Pull the balancer to ensure that it is on properly and somehow isn't misaligned off the keyway and it didn't destroy the key.

    Check for bad/bent pins on the crank sensor.

    If you are postive your firing order is correct and when you said first coil you meant the top one, then it shouldn't be anything other than one of the above. If you have spark and fuel, which you say you do...it's something timing wise and likely the harness or a sensor.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    All the junkyards were closed. I couldn't pick up a new harness. I'll grab one after school today. I checked my crankshaft position sensor connector and all the pins look good.

    That's not what I was hoping to hear. (the sensor would have been an easy fix)

    Which sensor? The camshaft position sensor? I took everything apart. So I'll just do it all tonight.

    Nah..pins on the crank sensor. If one was bent or something that would have been nice.

    I went to go pull the crank pulley off with the puller, and the f*cking thing doesn't want to budge. I stripped the main bolt on the puller. What the hell is going on? My god.

    sounds like you destroyed the keyway. the pulley should come right off if it's been off recently with the right puller. the only reason it would be stuck is if you smashed the key in there and it is stuck.
