I ran through the checks for all those sensors as shown in the factory service manual, and they all checked out okay. The tests were basically just checking for continuity across the sensors at the wiring harness plug on the outside of the distributor cap. All came back fine.

I got a fuel pressure testing kit today and will be checking it this evening. Also I took my battery in to get checked, and it indicated 195 CCA at 12.4 volts. However I’m guessing it’s not fully charged as it will not turn over my starter at the moment. I believe one of Eric’s videos said the battery needs to be fully charged in order to test it? So would the 195 CCA indicate the battery is bad or is it not possible to know in its current state?

When the car first died it would crank fine, and it also cranks fine when connected to another car with jumper cables. The engine just won’t start. This is a crank/no start problem. However I’m getting the battery checked today to be sure.
