So on my way home from work last night my CEL came on half way home, I turned my music down and listened to try and find any sounds out of the ordinary, however there weren't any. Right when I was coming into Whitewater, I turned the car off while it was coming to a stop and tried to turn it back on but it would only turn over for a few seconds and then die.

I tried a multiple times to turn it over and keep power to it (full throttle, and feathering the gas to keep it from dying) but it would only stay on for a few seconds, sometimes die right away and other times letting me rev it up to 5k for a few seconds before it died...

I dont recall an over obvious knocking sound, and no black or white smoke. The MAF was connected and the upper and lower intercooler piping was also connected...

Any idea guys? Thanks.
 
You need to get the code from the car. I think the 1g will spit out a code for you after doing key positions, however you may need a speaker for it.

Right now, I wouldn't reset the ECU to try and start it up.
