I have no clue what the whooshing sound is. Replacing the rotor and cap were good things, but you are wasting your time checking temp sensors and plug wire resistance, etc. Based on your newest post of smelling fuel on the plugs, it is possible that you have now fuel fouled the plugs by trying to start it so many times. If this is the case the car will never start even if you correct the original problem. What you need to do now is pull all the plugs and dry them out or put in a fresh set. If you still have the platinum plugs, you could temporarilly install them. Then do what I recommend in post #3. If it runs on carb cleaner, you know it is a fuel problem. If it still doesn't want to run, it is spark or electronic. You can rule out electronic by pulling the computer out of the car. It is right behind the battery. There are two computers there, so if you are not sure which is which, pull them both. One is the ABS computer. On a running car you can remove both of these units and the car will run and the brakes will work. The car will be running like a basic CIS system, and the ABS light on the dash will light. Follow these steps and you should be able to determine if it's fuel or fire. Right now you don't have a clue to which it is.

Good luck,
Peter
