no start, no codes? 850 1997

So, of course, the girlfriends 97 850 GLT fails to start late this afternoon. It'll just crank and crank. Started fine Friday when it was parked. After monkeying with it for past 2 hours, I'm totally baffled.

So here's what I've checked:
- one non-significant code (P0108)
- fuel pressure at rail and fuel pump audible
- ignition coil (even swapped in a spare coil I had)
- rotor and cap (rotor ~1200 ohm resistance IIRC)
- Pulled a plug and verified spark at plug as well
- Pulled CPS, which I replaced ~1 year ago, and it was clean and the pickup looked unscathed.

The last time I had this happen, the CPS was bad (the pickup had actually broken and bent the camshaft follower), but I knew that because it was throwing a code for it. Is it possible the CPS is bad, but the computer isn't detecting it? Anything else I should try?

Thanks!
