Exclamation Can't revive my 88

Hey again guys. Still having this damn problem. I cannot get the engine to start no matter what. I've tried the whole unflooding procedure to no avail. New fuel filter, strainer, pump working well, new plugs, new battery, new air filter, new(er) ignition coils. I'm getting both spark and fuel. I actually had it running today, after i tried out this little 2 led code reader. I am not getting any trouble codes. And the car has not been sitting or anything prior to this. It stalled out when I was driving home and wouldn't start. Taking it to a dealership is just not an option; I just don't make that much money to pay $100 an hour. No rotary mechanics in my area. Can anyone possibly give me an idea of where to start troubleshooting?? Thank you!

check your fuses for one, and check compression on it.

I unplugged the crank angle sensor for a little while, tried to start it and it fired right up... Now once I moved it it won't even try to start. I hit the key, and the engine bumps once, then I lose all power. Power to headlights, radio, everything.. I cleaned the terminals and all but nothing..

When your turning the engine over does your tach needle bounce just a little bit?
