The sensors looked fine when I removed them. The ECT was only a few months old and neither one had any apparent corrosion or crud on them. The contacts all were very clean for the most part.

I started the car after reconnecting the battery and let it idle for about 1.5 minutes and I noticed it was running better, so I took it for an easy test drive for about 2 miles. During the drive it started running like crap again so I disconnected the IAB, and it shut off, which I assume means it's working, then I fired it back up and checked the TPS and it was right at 1 with no throttle, so I adjusted it down a little, and the timing is still at 14. Basically I was just shooting in the dark at that point.
