You might have missed this and you've set yourself a pretty big list of unlikely things to try first.
As I suggested, remove the distributor from the block while keeping all wires connected except the center high tension lead, which you should pull out of the cap and run to ground so not to get shocked. Then turn on the ignition (don't crank) and by hand, turn the rotor around inside the distributor, from the bottom. If you DON'T hear your fuel pump running, and DON'T hear the injectors clicking, then there's very likely some kind of problem with the signal from the Hall sensor getting to the ECU.
Mark the distributor before removal to put back in proper place.
It's easy to do and would possibly eliminate any doubt, or could turn up a problem with Hall sensor wiring or connectors.
