Yesterday afternoon when I was leaving parking lot my car suddenly stuttered and died. I tried to start her again but no dice. She'll crank but would not start.
My assumption was immediately fuel pump, because it used to whine a little but now when I turn the key to ON position it won't even make a sound.

Long story short: I broke down about half mile down the street from Tansky Toyota in Dublin OH. I used one of my three AAA tows and had her towed to their shop. Today I got a phone call from the manger telling me that the car is throwing two codes: fuel pump and knock sensor.
I am not mechanically 100% so my question is: what are the chances of pump going out at the same time as the knock sensor?

Also, the dealer quoted me over $1200 (without the tax) to fix the car. That seems to me WAY too steep.
What are your thoughts guys?

change out the fuel pump, warm up the car, shut it off and then check for any codes using this method
