I unfortunately had to tow the car home after trying for 2 hours to figure the issue out.
I’ve got multiple codes thrown.
1st one says the inertia shutoff switch tripped
2nd talks about the fuel pump module
3rd one talks about the fuel rail pressure sensor is high.

So definitely fuel related.
I checked continuity through the red switch seems to be fine. But I just can’t seem to get combustion.

Pull the vacuum line off the FRPS. Maybe it blew while you were driving. Does it try to start at all when you crank it over?

You looked in a book for code discrimination


Now open our manual and use pinpoint test for those codes vs just guessing

You may find out it’s just a fuse

I put on a new fuel pump module. Now all the other codes went away and it just saying the module is defective or not powered. I checked under car and looks like a plug connection is dangling under the car next to the xpipe. It’s connected but is dangling lower than the exhaust. Which I would assume is not right

I would have replaced the FRPS first and go from there. Also, hold the pedal to the floor and crank for 15 seconds. Wait a few minutes and start it normally.

Ended up finding a 20a fuse blown. Which was for the fuel pump module.
Found a wire spliced off of the fuel pump module in the trunk that I think blew the fuse. Since fixing this and replacing the fuse cobra has been running fine
