I replaced the ignition control module and she finally started right up!!!

I believe the original ECM, the fuel system relay, and the ignition control module were all bad and I don't think replacing any one of them would have got her running on their own. Possibly one of them caused the others to die, but I really don't know what happened for sure. Replacing the ignition coil was probably not necessary, but it looked old as dirt and was cheap so that's fine with me.

To recap for everyone out there reading this:
Messing with and fumbling around with the relay caused the fuel pump to stop running non-stop with the engine off.

After this, it stopped starting up altogether. I ended up replacing the relay just in case.

I found that I had spark and fuel, but no electrical signal to the fuel injectors.

Replacing the ECM made the fuel injectors receive electrical signal again.

After this I lost spark so the engine still wouldn't run. Not sure how this happened but maybe cranking it over and over and testing the spark plug against the engine block caused this.

I was at my wits end at this point and about to throw in the towel, but then decided to replace the ignition control module and I am glad I did.

Thanks for all the help!
