FYI for those with no start issues
For those that have sudden "No start" issues, check the ground on the back of the driver's side head.
Here's my story:
I had just finished a head install the other day. After the work was done, I started the car up and let her idle for a few minutes while I checked for leaks. Everything looked good so I went for a test run. A few hundred feet down the road the car started surging/bucking and died. When I tried to restart it, it would crank, fuel pump would energize, but it wouldn't fire. No codes showed up either.
Turns out, the ground on the back of the driver's side head had broken off. I laid the broken wire on my intake and limped the car home.
Figured I'd share this learning experience for those that run across this issue.
