Update! I had bad relay board, and 3 bad injectors but all replaced now.
The car started on second key turn and idles smooth. I changed the master cylinder and will be bleeding rear and front brakes in the next couple days. I need to adjust the clutch, was having problems into first and reverse.
Yay for me!

side note, i did take the car out for a slow drive on a quiet street.

Great story!

Hope you keep the car.

Sounds like you might want to check the condition of the shift bushings. Easy to do.
