I took the top of the timing belt cover off and it's fine - I did the oil filler trick in the parking lot when it first didn't start. I can hear the fuel pumps kick on when I turn on the key (and yes the antenna is turned off - very similar sound when operating). As for the crank sensor, it's also the drive for the tach, so if it's bad, the tach is dead as well. The tach registers the engine cranking so I know it's okay. Also something I checked. I just replaced the fuel pump relay so I know what happens when that fails and this ain't it. I'll give the pumps a more thorough check though, that's the only place that there could be a problem, but it still doesn't explain the distributor not turning when the camshaft does.
