hydraems.com, my roommate and friend of many years are certified tuners and the only dealer in Virginia. There system is so ... simple? For lack of better words. Just a great system to have, that and Mj is just a great tuner. He doesn't have all the time in the world for my problems, considering all the work he does or has done for me is free. So I'm basically going to try and kill this problem myself. If all else fails I'll have to call him back to doodle around. I'm pretty good at what I do, just need the time and materials to fix the problem.

Negatory. I'm going to go with the assumption that I will have to take everything off. . . Which is highly gay. Where is this thing?

Today Carlo came over and we switched out EMS's and coil packs. That is ruled out, car still didn't start.

So, crank sensor? I'm curious as to what effect this thing have on my spark plugs and why it seems that I'm not getting spark all of a sudden?

You said plugs were ok, but is there any chance that your start-up "tune" is way too rich and has fouled the plugs? I've seen this happen before.
See above.

Glad that's all it was.

Your best bet is to use plain ol' copper plugs and change them every 2-3k miles. If you get caught driving only city-type miles, maybe every 1500-2k. This keeps fresh plugs in and you will get a read on the condition of your tune.
