VX Berlina V6
G'day,
looking for some thoughts on solving my current VX V6 issue...

I was away on holidays and my housemate used my car.
She was driving for about 10mins and says that with no warning, lost power, acceleration and just died...
She call a friend and tried in vain to start it again, killed the battery, then jump starting, but still nothing so got it towed home.

I have been going over the possibilities...
It really seems to be labouring hard, trying to start and when the key is on accessories, getting a high pitch squeal from the alternator...

It sounds like it wants to start, but just ends up draining the battery again...
Changed the battery, pulled the return hose off and got fuel, swapped the DFI over with a spare one I had, all with no change...

Haven't done the crank angle sensor yet, figured I put it out for any other ideas before I do...

Only 5-6 pin bridge error code I'm getting is 1361 but correct me if I'm wrong, that doesn't explain the laboured attempt to start...

Any clues...?
