OK. Another wrinkle in this saga.
I was thinking it could be the fuel pump ($612 from the dealer), since there's no fuel coming from the fuel pump. But I read in another forum that there's a fuel cut-ff inertia switch that may be the culprit. I located it and pressed the button atop it, and it clicked! I even heard the fuel pump hum when the key turned on and everything! This told me it was, indeed, in the "cut off" position, and when I depressed the Schraeder valve, with the key in the 'on' position, for the first time, fuel spewed out!
I was so excited! I hurriedly replaced the engine cover and all related components! I went to crank the engine and it actually tried to catch two, three times apparently because oif the present fuel), but never did. Disappointed, I went to try it a few more times and it went back to turning and turning, with no 'catch.' Finally I removed the cover again, to have a try at the Scraeder valve, and.... nothing.
This is getting frustrating.
