Fixed it! Bad connectors strike again

I replaced the CPS. No difference.
I cleaned the throttle body. Still didn't run.
Ran to autozone and got an OBD II Scanner. CEL was because of a p1310 code, AKA Manufacturer Direct Ignition Failure.
I ordered 2 DICs and overnight shipping yesterday ($427) and got them today. I installed the first one in the front and tried to start it, and see which one had gone bad. I figured I could keep the good one in the trunk in case I got stranded. Well, it still didn't start after the front one. I went to replace the rear one and noticed the wiring harness clip was broken... and also not connected. I couldn't believe it. I went through almost a month of driving a couple hours of labor only to discover it was a broken connector. Well, I went ahead and replaced it and threw the two extras in the back for good measure.
Thanks to everyone here, I appreciate your help. =)
