Well aside from the squirrel, it sounds like something with the ignition system. Possibly: Ignition module, coil, bad distributor cap or rotor. Even horrible wires, specifically the wire connecting the coil and distributor cap could be a culprit. It also sounds like it could be a failing fuel pump relay (found under the junction panel cover, on the passenger side firewall under the hood)

While cranking, check for spark and fuel. No fuel from the injectors: fuel pump relay... no spark: something ignition related.
