Oh CRAP!! The resistance was the Crank Position Sensor! Got impatient with wiggling and tried the ol' pry it out. Well...snap. Boy, sure comes off easy when the CPS snaps off inside the block. Luckily I was able to get a 90 degree drill in there and start a hole. Ended up with a screw in the drilled hole and announced to my girlfriend, "It's a boy as it came loose." What a relief after playing taps on the harmonica for my son. New CPS tomorrow and we'll get 'er back together to see if all problems are solved. I'll post results.
