Grump,
Read what your manual says about how to test the dash lights.......
While you're watching your dash lights do their 'diagnostic', listen to
your fuel pump. If it runs for four or so seconds, try holding the gas
pedal to the floor and crank the engine for maybe ten seconds. You won't
hurt anything, and it just might start your engine. If this trick solves
your problem, you may have a leaky (stuck) injector which is flooding
the engine by letting the pressure out of the system by dribbling gas
into one cylinder over night.
A bottle of fuel injector cleaner and a long drive might solve the
problem. Can't comment on the 'flushing' methods used by some oil-change
places. (leery)
