Looks like you have check most of the basics - but i don't see anything about coil packs. Better check those as well. Not likely that all went out, but likely that one is misbehaving. Should be able to see the voltage toggle with a meter on the input. Also check compression to make sure the combustion chamber is OK

The question can you get a new one in. you can always cut the old one up enough to get it out. In the past, I've skipped the factory hose and put in a completely flexilbe one. You can have flexible hydraulic hoses made up at most truck shops. The only thing critical is the end connectors. You might even be able to save the old ones and splice in a hose.

Fuel reset buttons are usually under passenger kick-panels on the side. Follow fuel lines from engine back and should be able to spot the location as well.

Smoke can only be caused by something burning. Only candidates are oil and water. It doesn't take much - maybe even small enough that you won't notice loss over many miles. Check compression on all cylinders. You should see something there.

Do you have mirror above or near your front windshield? my lights stayed on a couple of times, and I had to get out my manual and see where to click them off. I think when I put my sun visor up it clicked it to the on position on the mirror. I don't have the same type car as you though, but that could be where your problem might be.

Should be in the underhood fuse block .
