Does the door switch work properly? In some I think the accessory power stays on until the door is opened, but maybe not the radio and maybe not in an 88.

Have you tried forcing the slave piston back in? Maybe with a speedbleeder in place that would get it.

If it was fueling enough to get raw fuel down past the rings into the oil the plugs should show some indication, let it idle for a while and then look at them.

You might test the DME temp sensor and maybe the AFM temp sensor to see if the DME has the correct info to set the fuel mixture.
