No, I don't think so. Like I said, last time I looked at it it was OK and from all the people who have had DI trouble it is not something that's sudden like this, usually there's some problems before the whole thing up and dies. There was no warning here. Right now I'm looking at the fuel pump and the crankcase sensor. I'm going to do some tests today. Believe it or not , one of the popular tests for the fuel pump is to kick it while trying to start the car (no I'm not joking). Apparently when the pump's on it's way out it starts to stick a bit.
