It could be anything, but I'm betting the CPS is dead. It's common and cheap (cheap being my favorite). One way to check is to grab a timing light and have someone else crank it. If the timing light doesn't illuminate, there's no spark. No spark is probably the CPS. If I remember how Bosch ME works, a dead CPS also kills the injectors. Without knowing the crankshaft position (or more correctly, thinking that it's stopped), there's no injector timing.

Oh well, back to work. Post what the dealer finds. I need something to break up a dull Tuesday.
