The car sounds like its going to start, the engine starts to turn over, then there is just a whizzing sound.
All the dash light show up, radio/cd comes on, ACC starts up, headlights look strong, battery was replaced about 14 months ago do to slow starting but it had no effect whatsoever, went from slow starting, to no starting.
This is most certainly the original DI, unless the dealership replaced it without my knowlege, for free. I bought the car with 2 years and 20k miles on it, it could have been replaced before that but I have not had it replaced in the 7 years and 145,000 miles I have owned the car. I have been waiting for it to go for years and everytime something goes wrong I think its finally the DI, but somehow it never is. I get the oil changed every 5k and the spark plugs every 10k. I use the techtron (based on your recommendation) every 10k as well. I've been running an old-style MBC since 2000, (again, thanks Dean) and I do more city than highway driving. I dont know if any of that has helped the DI or if I just got a really good one but I know I have never had to have the thing changed.
