In my experience, the car's always started on 1st. I usually count three shifts by the time the car is done accelerating to highway speeds.
I hope that the fuel/injector pump isn't the issue. From what I've read, both parts tend to be extremely sturdy and should last more than 197k miles. That said, I'm having a hard time imagining what else could cause a complete no-start. The trouble here is that the diagnosis will have to be done remotely, as the car is in New Hampshire and I'm in New York. It's definitely going to be an adventure.
