'97 900 SE Turbo Cranks, Won't Start

Cranks just fine. Have even charged the 3 m.o. battery to be sure it's okay. Usually get a little backfire or such on the very first crank after sitting for an hour or more.
Tried spare DIC.
Fuel seems OK. Can smell fuel, plugs are wet after cranking.
It's cold in MA, assumed it wasn't CPS, so replaced ignition switch.
When that didn't work, replaced crank position sensor (CPS).
I'm feeling like I've run out of DIY possibilities. Anything else I should try before I have it towed to the local indy shop?
Suppose it's worth throwing in the spare stock ECU I have. (has Abbott ECU)
Plugs were a nice slightly brownish gray, just right, though the electrodes looked a bit worn. Should throw some fresh plugs in anyway, though I doubt that would help the no start. It was running fine before I parked it overnight, then wouldn't start.
Any other ideas or things I can check?
