Howdy,

Got a code from the computer saying 'idle air contol signal faulty or missing' but that was only after many attempts at cranking, and I did not get that code when the problem initially started.

Take the computer at it's word. You've got fuel and spark, the only things missing from the equation are compression and air. Dry the plugs and reinstall them. Hold the throttle plate open just a tad with the foot pedal and try to start it again. If it starts and dies, there's your problem. If not, check compression.

Let us know what happens.
