Well, I got it cranked this afternoon! It was too simple. The igniter is grounded through the case. The Toyota mechanic just plugged up the new igniter and didn't attach it to the metal bracket for easy access. This meant that it wasn't grounded and would not send the voltage to the ignition coil and thus no return signal. So, after attaching the new igniter to the metal bracket, it cranked right up! Thanks to enthalpy and the rest of the members that responded. The car has less than 80k miles and now it has life again!
