If you took it to the tuner when you had a "similar" problem, and it worked fine. That is your answer. I say get it back to the tuner, or have him come to your house to fix this problem. I would say that is where you look first. Keep it simple if you can, and fix what worked before. Don't read into the "happened to me, my cousin, my friends friend", and I wouldn't even go the route to think EVERYTHING else failed at the same time, like plugs/wires/pump/tire pressure, etc... Your answer is in the first post you made. You had a similar problem, was fixed by your tuner. If you do that first, and still wont fix it, look at the rest.

Pulling the plugs/fuses/etc... before doing what worked before, is like walking into a dark house, and changing every lightbulb in the house FIRST, instead of going to the breaker-box to see why the lights dont work.

My 2c is about to become 4c Good luck, keep us posted.

If you don't do the AEM EMS first, then I will jump on board with a mis-diagnosis and say it might be crank-walk. lol

Make sure you have a backup of your tune on your computer or disk drive. Cold weather is not AEM friendly. I burned through 3 eprom chips in -20 degree weather when my car was in alaska
