Thanks for the suggestion Klaus.

I did however try the "switch to N" trick first thing and it didn't help at all. I've been burned by various P switch engagement functionality in many different cars over the years, only to be humiliated when someone else shows me up by trying it in N. I always try that first now ;)

The whirring sound could very well have been the air pump.
I understand that the air pump is supposed to only be for cold starts... Will the engine refuse to start if the pump won't work? I would have guessed that it would throw a code but not keep the car from starting?

I will be home and trying things out in a few hours, but I'm very puzzled by all this right now. Oh and also without a car!

I love this car, but it's been a real handful for the past 3 months or so....
