Sorry guys, didn't mean to leave you hanging - I am home now, but not with the car. Here is the final outcome:
I changed the fuel filter in the Advance Auto parking lot and looked at the crank sensor again, but I decided not to attempt it. I was in a bad part of Cleveland and if I screwed it up and couldn't even start the car I was totally screwed. I drove it, and the same thing happened after about 40 miles. Backfire, stall. So I made it to just outside of Youngstown, Ohio, got a 10x20 storage garage, and parked it. All of the rental companies wanted over $400 for a one-way car rental, so my fantastic wife saddled up and drove 8 hours to come get me, and we got home yesterday afternoon where I then crashed until about now. I did not get much sleep in the last 4 days.
I'd like to thank everyone for all of their help and advice. I'm a bit bummed that I couldn't get the car home but at least I didn't feel like I was all alone out there. I'm not sure what I'm going to do next - I may just leave it there for the winter as I have no garage and would have had to find indoor parking for it anyways, and I got a good price on the storage unit. Maybe head back in the spring with a friend.
Thanks again everyone!
