Even with water in the fuel I'm sure it would try to start a bit... this is nothing, dead, done (sounds to me at least).

Did you actually check to see if it's getting fuel? Press the schrader (SP?) valve on the fuel rail and have someone crank the engine... should squirt out.
If you can, check the injector wiring (forget if it's easy to get to or not)... IIRC the Pink wire should have system on it, and the other wires give/takes ground... make sure those are working properly (if nothing else, check these at the PCM!!!!!)

If both of those tests pass, fuel is good to go.

Make sure you check spark (incase no one said that already).. if you haven't done it yet, DO IT!!!!! Grab a spark tester and make sure both coils are producing spark.

No spark? Chances are both coils didn't go out at once.

So. Make sure the ICM has power and ground (system on power and .0x volts on ground). Check the crank sensor wires (yellow and purple IIRC).. if you have a scope you should see a nice wavey pattern, if you don't have a scope, throw the MM on it and at least look for some voltage generated (in AC).. at least that will prove it's making voltage...

I don't remember if the IDIS has a cam sensor... but if it does, check that, too. If it's a pulse generator (2 wire) check it same at the CKP. If it's a hall effect (3 wire), make sure it has power, ground, and the signal wire is either producing a digital pattern (boxes on the scope), or at least some voltage.

That'll be a good place to start on the issue... don't waste your money at a shop if you can fix it yourself mannnn.
