Car ran fine until it broke down. I was driving about 45-50 miles an hour and the car jerked twice then just died. The dash lights were on, and all the lights still work. The engine threw a knock sensor code but thats it. It will crank but wont start.

Normally, putting the key in the drivers side door lock,
turning to the left, then to the right all the way
will unlock and disarm/reset the "OEM factory"
alarm system. also check eec relay in #2 relay box as that powers up cam sensor and injectors.
