No it wouldn't trigger the CEL light. Tell the dealer to back date the clips on the pump line.

Guys,
I will be receiving my ecu back from Rene today. He looked at the ecu and said both the Upsolute software and the Upsolute installed chip were still fine. He said he could not find anything wrong with the ecu. I had him install the latest version of the upsolute software which should eliminate the PSM and ABS lights. I am now confident that I have a fuel related problem. The way the car just shut down sounds very much like a fuel problem. I can hear the fuel pump working when I turn the key so I am sure that it is still working. I'd like to see if there are any fuel pressure related codes that were stored in the ecu. I want to use a friends OBDII scanner, but given that Rene reloaded new software in it I'm not sure if all the codes were erased or not. If they were then I'll have a hard time finding the problem. If all else fails I'll contact the dealer and have them find the problem.
I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
Mark.

I had a similar although not exact problem. Car died on the highway and I pulled over... thought I ran out of gas because my fuel has been overly optimistic since I got the car. Got gas from the NJ Turnpike authority, but still no go. The only difference between your symptoms and mine is that fact that your car tries to crank the engine, while mine just gave the CE light. Turns out the stupid fuse to the ECU was blown. 4 hours, $300 for towing wasted for a stinking 3 cent fuse. They didn't even have any spare ones in the fuse box. Hope the answer to your problem doesn't make you more pissed than the problem itself!
