check your fuel filter, ive had a similar problem as i was driving and shut off(ended up finding that the high pressure fuel pump that i had which was a walbro had caused the rubber oring to slightly pop out which caused it to lose fuel pressure. check the fuel filter that sits ontop of the fuel pump (not the sock filter on the bottom of the fuel pump)you can take it apart by twisting the two halfs and check for the correct seating of the oring hope this helps

And the car still sits there. Covered in pollen.

Your injector driver circuit has failed I bet. Pull an injector and hold it AWAY from the engine when plugged in. Start it. Alternately, use a voltmeter on the the injector plug itself.

Ended up being the O-ring in the fuel filter...

Thanks for all the input everyone!

I'll post a pic up of the stupid O-ring and how it was when I found it.

If you look closely, you can see that the o-ring is coming out. That's how I found the filter. Everything is fine now, car is back up and running! Thanks everyone!
