Ok first I need you to check the EIS fuse that is in the under hood fuse box. If the fuse is good then you need to get a digital multi meter and check to see if there is power to it with key on engine off. Get back to me and we will go from there.

Have you checked the fuel pressure itself? Does it have fuel pressure? We do need to run a test on the Remote keyless entry module as this may have malfuntioned and shut down the car. So you need to unplug the connector from the module and check for voltage from term E to ground. If there is not voltage let me know. If there is voltage then check continuity between term M on the RKE (remote keyless entry module) and pin number 14 on the pcm connector. If you have no continuity here then the light blue wire is shorted or open and you will need to trace it and fix it. If there is continuity there then check for a short to ground in the light blue wire. If there is no short then the PCM need to be replaced. Here is a pic of the connectors so you have the numbers and letters to check with. The PCM connector is first and the RKE Connector is second. The pcm is behind the left side of the dash and RKE is behind the right rear quarter trim panel. Get back to me with what you find.
