Thanks for the advice everyone.

Good news... got is started, and it's running fine! I tried starting it several times when I got home today to no avail. Last night I sprayed WD-40 on all the connectors/sensors. I started by unplugging all of them today and dabbing them with a microfiber towel and blowing them out, just to make sure they were dry. I then checked the coils and plugs, which were bone dry. At this point, my battery was also about done from all the attempted starts from the past two days. I jumped it with my Jeep and it started right up. (I know it wasn't initially the battery, as it was having trouble/wasn't starting at all right after the spray down.)

So to sum it up, I'm not exactly sure what I did, but all is good .
if you still have troubles, start the car, close the hood and let it run for as long as possible. The heat should dry things out. You could also remove the coil packs and wipe them down. Good luck
Thanks, I let it run with the hood down for 20 or so minutes just to ensure it's dry. Afterwards, it started right up a couple of times.
