Its alive...turned out to be a combination of a weak coil and an over enthusiastic ECT
Edit: the coil was within limits according to the FSM, but I replaced it any ways because of my erratic spark

Me 2. The ECT is the engine coolant temperature sensor. It controls how much fuel gets dumped at start up.if it tells the PCM that its freezing cold then the PCM dumps massive amounts of fuel
