Jimmy,
After ruling out battery, replacing CPS, checking for spark, testing fuel pump pressure (45-48), I decided maybe one or more of the DICs had crapped out and had a look at the plugs after it had run for a while. One looked different, #2. Sure enough the ODB2 code was now showing P1312 indicating a problem n cylinder 1 and 2. I replaced with some old DICs and after using Jimmy's idea to enhance the compression with some squirts of oil in plug holes and eventually was able to get it to start. It smoked a lot for a while and then ran pretty smooth. I ordered 4 new DICs to replace.
The initial problem was either a flooded, no-start condition caused by misfiring DIC(s) or a failing CPS or both. The squirting oil in each plug hold to get compression back was crucial to restarting.
Hope this helps someone else.
Thanks for your helpful advice.
