My wife just called. The TB is stuck at the grocery store. It cranks, but won't turn over. New (Interstate) battery as of January. New stealership ignition switch as of February. No check engine light previous to this. She said it had a half a tank in it. She says when she turns the key (without trying to start it), all the dash lights come on, then the check engine light comes on (which to me sounds normal if you turn the key without starting the vehicle).
The only possible explanation I can come up with is vapor lock (although really rare on a modern fuel injected vehicle).
I have a smart phone, so I can check the forums in the field.
I remember back to GM's earliest computer contolled vehicles, you could short two terminals on the OBD plug with a paper clip and count check engine light blinks to get trouble codes...probably not like that any more
Thank for the help, guys!
