That certainly is possible but I would have thought a low fuel pressure condition would have thrown a CEL. Nothing.

Sorry for how long its been since an update guys but I have been super busy with work/life.

So its been 4 days and the car is still running perfect. I did some reading in the owner's manual and it seems that the car IS indeed fitted with an anti-theft immobilizer that kills the fuel system in the event that someone tries to start it with a key that doesn't have the chip inside. To date, that system crapping out on me is the most likely cause of what happened.

If this happens again, I'll be sure to update the thread.
