got home today and fiddled with the wires to the CPS behind the cover behind the sprocket, but without removing the sprocket as I didn't have anything to brace the thing with to keep it from turning.  When I attempted to remove it the whole thing turned about 20 degrees (with the belt intact and not skipping teeth, as it was zip-tied in place) I put the serpentine belt tensioner and tb cover back on and removed the zip ties, and voila! it started right up.  My guess is either I re-established contact in the wires to the CPS, or by moving the engine I somehow managed to get it started (not likely, but those are the only things that have changed since it wouldn't start).  I pulled codes and the only code I'm getting is for the Throttle position sensor (2212), but I'm getting it twice....not sure why.

Could that cause a no-start condition?  I did unplug it once in my attempts to get the car started and have held the throttle to the floor on numerous occasions trying to get it started as well....

Either way, I REALLY want the car back!
