Not likely, I did not think your pump was running. The MAJOR RCM failures that cause a no start are:
No Engine control relay output - starter won't engage.
No fuel pump relay output - starter engages but fuel pump wont run.
I suppose you could have a 'open' on one of the various outputs that feed various items in the car - but can't say we've seen that.
STill, owning and driving a Crossfire without a spare RCM and spare crank position sensor seems like asking for trouble. I've had two RCMs fail in three cars in 14 years and one crank sensor fail in that time. If you are not going to break out the service manual and confirm all of the outputs of the RCM, I'd order an RCM. Given your last post, I doubt the RCM is at fault, but again, you should not be driving a car without a spare.
GET ONE, they are valuable and easy to change: I talked a lady (Ella in Gainseville, GA) thru changing the RCM on the phone who barely knew how to open the hood - and got her home, from 400 miles away.
