Reading this site I found much gloom and doom, but it turned out to be a relatively minor problem.

My fault code PID was for a rich mixture condition. Correspondingly, I found my fuel trim excessive and constant at about -25. Because all sensors (MAP, MAF, TP, O2, etc) were operating normally but the engine was not responding (and I was no way going to the dealership), I took a long shot and bought a Fuel Pressure Regulator. It worked! It took about $75.00 and less than 20 minutes to fix.
