you need to check the error codes (i'm guessing the CEL is lit?)

www.scoobypedia.co.uk under the ecu heading shows you how to do this.
The plugs may be taped up so hard to find.
You will get code(s) ,post them up and people can tell you what is wrong.

Bet he shoved a tankful of fuel in it just before this happened?
Oh and dont just reset it, you need to find the underlying issue unless he wants a 2.5k bill for an engine.
