Fuel-injected cars won't diesel.. When you shut it off it kills the fuel pump, injectors, and engine computer/ignition system.
I agree that it's most likely the ignition switch. It was a $10, 15-minute job on my Thunderbird, don't know what it's like on a PT Cruiser. |

Fuel injected cars can diesel. It's not anywhere near as common, you're correct, but I've seen it happen. And, it won't carry on as long as in a carbeurated car.
