Ok so I ended up replacing the crankshaft position sensor and in doing so I discovered the when I turned the pulley to break the bolt free my fly wheel was not moving. So I had someone turn the key to see what was and wasn't moving and found out my crankshaft itself is the problem. So off to the junk yard my car is gonna go. I'm sad to have to get rid of her but she does have 255,801 miles on her. She was a good car. :'(
