Default '92 Civic vx (D15Z1) turns, won't start...

Drove it to work one day and it wouldn't start when I went to leave. It was extremely cold that day (10 degrees F or so) and the previous two days it was a little stubborn starting, requiring a few more cranks than normal to get it going, which I assumed was just because of the cold.

What's known:

- Main relay tested OK
- MIL on for two seconds when ignition is ON, then shuts off; fuel pump can be heard operating. (ECU operation OK?)
- Fuel system is OK
- Constant error code 48, even after resetting ECU. (ECU operation not OK?)
- Replaced distributor cap & rotor with no positive effect.
- No spark

What I've yet to try due to cost restrictions:

- Replace ECU
- Replace Ignition coil and/or Igniter
- Take the damn thing in and have someone else do it.

Doing some internet research I've found some information concerning a poorly designed MAP sensor that could be an issue. I'd love to hear some feedback from you guys about any suggestions you may have.
