At least with the German you are still going fast while lighting money on fire. The old DSMs were light money on fire just to keep running and sometimes go fast.
Also 802SHO you seem to have stumbled on to some of the best customer service across multiple companies out there. Getting one to...
Anything that you simply put in your tank isnt going to do anything for these motors. The injectors spray directly inside the cylinder. You could put God's personal all powerful never fail carbon cleaner in the tank and it still wont clean the valves because itll never reach them.
I dont blame you. I imagine swapping that could be a pain in your situation.

So obviously there is a lot of testing and work to figure out your electrical gremlin and I realize you may not have posted everything youve tried/ruled out so far.
