Engine died on highway - won't re-start

Have tried searching the archives but not having much luck...

While driving on the highway the other night, everything was going fine and
then the engine just died at ~120 kph. Total loss of power, costed off at
the next ramp and parked it. Nothing appeared to be amiss, pulled codes and
got 2221 - intake manifold hose failure to ecu(shouldn't kill engine), and
2214 - engine over rev (not this trip), cleared them, cranked the engine and
got the same codes again. Had it towed home :-(

Kind of stumped, fuel in tank, lots of battery juice, cranks over fine (new
battery), but just won't even hint at starting. Usually the code dump would
give a hint, but they don't seem to make sense. Hose to ecu checks out fine
but that shouldn't kill the engine, and over rev on starter cranking? go
figure.

Any ideas?

TIA
