The freaking distributor cap.
I can't believe people. This guy took the car to his mechanic who said the problem was the O2 sensor. O2 sensors will cause some weird running, but I've never seen a failed one prevent a car from starting and running - maybe not run well, but at least run. The mechanic "checked everything out" and that was his diagnosis.
Apparently he didn't notice the ignition system was trashed. The distributor cap was utterly destroyed inside, and the wires barely held onto the plugs. I borrowed the rotor/cap/wires from my SPG, threw them on the '91, and it started right up. I took it around the block a few times and it's fine.
Well, that's good news for me. Now, to the dismantling! :)
