    Hey,

    Checking your Computer for Faults (VN - VP)

    use the above method to see if the ecu knows what is wrong. this will hopefully save you alot of time

    Could be many things, what do you mean by the computer isn't working? Do you hear your fuel pump prime when you turn your ignition on? If so, it's most likely not the fuel pump. Your could get your coil pack's tested, wouldn't cost much, and you can normally pick them up at the wrecker's fairly cheap. Sometime's they will even seperate the coil packs..though some will only sell you all 3 packs, with the DFI module..Could also be a Crank angle sensor on it's way out. Their cheap to buy(less than $50), but will set you back a bit in labour, unless you know someone with a pulley puller, and a bit of experience.

    But like TVR said, run a fault check on your computer, if your not sure how to do this, just swing into an Ultra Tune, (or simialr) and get them to run a scan for you.
    Hope this helps..

    I'd check that the wiring to the CAS is properly clipped in.
