Dump some WD40 down there or some motor oil.

All you need for a 2.3t is a engine harness, computer, and some other little things

ya i got the engine freed up. but i think the coil is going. i hooked a spark plug up to the coil wire and grounded it, and only sparks sometimes, and is very weak. it turns over fine but will not start (because of the coil i presume)
