Merging on the interstate, foot on the floor, there was a very sudden loss of power like an intake hose after the turbo popped off. Car still ran but with loss of power, but no dash lights. Parked car, shut it off... tried to start again and it sputtered a bit as it tried to fire, then died. Now the engine just spins with the starter.
Checked codes and got p0087 and p119a. Fault within fuel deliver system and fuel pressure sensor, respectively.
Looks like the fuel pressure sensor failed in a pretty spectacular way and I still had enough fuel in the system to limp for a couple of miles.
Question to the technicians here... Is this a doable repair in a parking lot? It looks tricky to get to, but not impossible. Can I assume there's not much fuel left in the system at the fuel rail at this point or will I make a mess pulling the sensor out?
I'd rather not tow it, but I'll do what I have to.
