Does the CEL stay ON? Is fuse 41 or 42 under the hood blown? Does the distributor connector have battery voltage? Also check whether the important ground wire on the thermostat housing is loose or corroded.

Have you retrieved the CEL code? It may be informative.

Yeah, no need to reinvent the wheel. It's a pretty basic system.
