Well I got bored yesterday and today, and got tired of troubleshooting. Scanned for codes again, threw the same codes, so I filled her up with gas and oil and got everything connected.
I disconnected the starter lead from the solenoid, jumped it straight to the battery, it cranked and cranked and cranked for a while, sounded like it was sputtering and wanted to start.
I gave it a little throttle, and vroom! started up! and actually ran! No muffler on it right now, so I think i lost some hearing, but it ran! It wouldn't idle at first, but after a few tries, it actually idled too! I didn't want to run it too long, seeing as how there's no coolant and just really cheapo oil in there, but at least I know it runs now.
I ordered a new starter solenoid on ebay, as well as an intake air temperature sensor, total came out to less than 30 shipped, so I figure I might as well.
If it turns out it was just the starter solenoid, I may very well have the thing put together and running on the streets within a week! We shall see.
Edit: Maybe I'll finally break down and bring my multimeter home from work and actually do some real troubleshooting.
