So I finally got around to pulling codes tonight, got these:

Map/Baro Sensor
IAT Sensor
Cam Sensor

(96 talon, completely 100% stock 7 bolt / car)

I went and grabbed a friends MAF, the car actually ran, but terrible, wouldn't rev past 1300 rpms, and was running super rich. We did get it to warm up though.

Try adjusting tps a bit, car reverts back to running for 3 seconds and dying, like it almost always does, even with my MAF.

Tested the fuel pump, its getting correct voltage consistently.

Grabbing a friends ECU tomorrow to stick in there, then possible the same guys DSMLink v3 to log and monitor wtf is goin on.

Thinking replace the cam sensor? I don't see any way to test it, besides making sure the pigtail is getting voltage, without pulling the timing belt and exhaust cam gear.
 
running for 3 seconds and dying is a classic tell tale sign of a dead cas. I would just plan on replacing it. zip tie the cam to the belt in a couple places, then compress the timing belt tensioner and remove just the intake cam.
 
Its not technically a CAS, its the cam position sensor? Its the hall effect one that gets its reading off of the exhaust cam gear.

Thats a good idea, I need to replace the timing belt anyway though, and we were going to double check that the crank and oil pump marks were correctly aligned.

Might replace the crank sensor while everything is off, just for piece of mind.
