I'd thought I'd chime in with my experience on a 2005 B303, which has been similar.

Ours died after nearly full throttle with a decent load and wouldn't restart. (We're also at 8000ft). I thought I'd take a look at the fuel filter, which was quite bad. I replaced it but it still wouldn't start. I decided to loosen the fuel pump both and turn it a very times to get the fluid flowing there. Wouldn't start. Then I loosened an injector, turned it over a few seconds, got some fluid flowing from the injector and it started after about 30 seconds. It ran a little rough for a minute or so then settled out. I ran it a few minutes and it seemed to be back to normal. The true test will be starting it again in the morning to be sure it's back to normal.

Anyway, my experience was likely a very bad fuel filter then needed to bleed the system.
