The light you descrived is the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning Light —
(From your owners Manual) This light informs you of a problem with the
Electronic Throttle Control System. If a problem
is detected while the engine is running, the
light will either stay on or flash depending on
the nature of the problem. Cycle the ignition key when
the vehicle is safely and completely stopped and the gear
selector is placed in the P (Park) position. The light
should turn off. If the light remains on with the engine
running, your vehicle will usually be drivable, however,
see your dealer for service as soon as possible.
If the light continues to flash when the engine is running,
immediate service is required and you may experience
reduced performance, an elevated / rough idle, or engine
stall and your vehicle may require towing. The light will
come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain
on briefly as a bulb check. If the light does not come on
during starting, have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.

You are definately getting spark - no gas. Sorry, process of elimination with several of the other posts suggestions that are related to the fuel system is about the only thing that will get you up and running providing there isn't already some internal damage.

My apologies if I haven't sugar coated it but figured it's best to shoot straight. Get it home and take your time figuring out what's needed to get fuel to the cylinders.

Good luck.
Holy It's Mccain and his straight talk express.



And if it really is you Mccain?!?! You're a douche-bag.

Back to the problem. ....
