My first thoughts are to try to hook up a datalogger to your ECU. If it doesn't connect, the ECU is toast.
If you are getting fuel and no spark, ECU seems to be it. Fuel and spark go hand in hand. Can't be the MPI (engine fuse), probably not a CAS.
If it's not the ECU, then it could be a coil pack.
Either way, next time make sure all your grounds are solidly connected to the chassis when you start to drive it again.

Dan Dan I guess they havent got to the chapter on crap doesnt always work like the engineer thought it should when they wrote the manual. You can have error codes without the CE light coming on so it is still a good idea to check.
Every day I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.
