Peck is right, your car didnt start before charging so how do you know after charging it the DME is fried? A noid light is an excellent idea if your injectors are pulsing its probably safe to say your DME is fine. From there check spark WITH a spark TESTER! DO NOT check for spark by simply grounding the plug and looking for spark, it means nothing, trust me I made that mistake myself

YES, I checked today with the dealer and the .01 and .00 suffix for the parts are interchangeable. My offer will stand if you need it. Just pay shipping from Southern California (and ship it back when you are done)...

Just on a side note, always disconnect battery before you charge it.

Thanks for all of your help guys. Replaced ignition module and away we seemed to go. Don't know if it was related to boost charger or had just gone kaput. By the time that you take it out and it comes away in your hand due to half of the unit being seized to the mounting block by the heat conducting paste, it's kinda hard to tell .....

Now just need to get to that drip from behind the water pump pulley ......
