Sorry the car left you sitting at the store, man. Well, could be fuel pump. Have you tried to crank the car since yesterday? From what you described, I doubt it's the coil or the TFI module. If it hasn't been cranked since yesterday, can you hook up a mech fp guage and check to see if fp with car shut off... turn key let pump get line up to appropriate pressure.. see what it reads. Then try to start car and read fp at idle.
