I have the vehicle listed above with the 2.4L Ecotek. It has been fuel burn issue since about 100,000 but has been closely monitored and kept up on oil changes. Drove great out to work, went to leave work in the afternoon and got the service Stabil Trak and low power mode warnings. Pulled over in the parking lot and shut the vehicle off and would not restart, it tried to turn over but would not fire, eventually draining my battery trying to figure it out I had it towed to my garage. Charged up the battery and put on an OBD scanner and got P228D as my permanent code "Fuel pressure Regulator 1 Exceeded Control Limits - Pressure to High" guessing this would be the high-pressure fuel pump. I get solid pressure all the way up to the high-pressure pump when I check through the bleeder valve.
I have checked spark plugs which have spark although seem to be dry. As well as tried to feed it fuel through the throttle body and get it to fire up with no luck. Figured if this would fire it then I would spend the money on the high-pressure fuel pump, but it didn't work. I'm wondering where to look next as maybe it is a timing chain issue but before I open that all up, I thought I would check here if someone had a similar issue.
Thanks
