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.

Yep. I'm gonna do all this tonight.

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.

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

Oh I see what you mean. Ya I know. I wish it was something simple like that.
