Ok...
I just pulled the fuel rail and injectors out. Verified that there is fuel in the rail, and now I'm going to check to see if the injectors fire by hooking a 12 volt battery to one of the injectors and giving it a pulse.
If gas squirts out, then I think I can rule out fuel system problems.
Which will probably lead me to suspect air or pressure problems.

I hope I don't catch anything on fire.

Wow...

So I checked the fuel pressure at the pump, was a little lower than 60psi but that's not a problem.
Running out of options, I just decided to bleed the tank and refuel.

I crank her off and voila. She runs.
All that crap and I still don't know what the real problem was, but it's kinda like restarting a computer. It just fucking works sometimes.

I guess I had some crap gas or maybe some gunk was caught up somewhere. Who knows.
It's fixed now though.
Thanks for helping out, you guys.

Sounds like the gas cap was the problem.
