Don't think it's been mentioned anywhere in this thread... Check the engine ground(s). The one buried at the back of the motor is critical. Be sure it's tight and corrosion-free.

I'm starting to lean toward the alarm after all I've read and heard. Car sat for two years with a dead battery and I've heard a few war stories about alarms after a scenario like that. I'm going to check it out tonight. Thanx!

Hmm where is this ground located? My car will not start a few tries. It always felt like a bad ground. though, once i spray the intake with starter fluid, starts right up, still would like to check this ground out.

Well, the no spark problem WAS the alarm. I now have spark to the plug (yay!), fuel to the rail (yay!), but still won't crank (damn!). I need to see if the injectors are firing but AutoZone no longer carries NOIDE lights. ANyone know how to check this without a NOIDE or where I might be able to find one?
