Fuel getting to fuel rail (eg, could be fuel pump relay or fuse)?  DIS packs don't normally fail completely, so should at leats try to catch if its that.

31 code is non conclusive on non running V6 :(

if there is a fuel pump prob would this cause no spark?

No so easy to check for spark on modern DIS and CPP engines without a proper spark tester.

Possible DIS has failed, but usually to completely fail.

Presumably EML isn't flashing (and that it has a working bulb in)?

Not sure about the error code but symptom sounds like it could be crankcase sensor.

Do you get a reading between one lead, and its associated other lead (its a wasted spark system)
