Klaus. It's been a while, and I meant to get back to you after i finally resolved my issue.

The car finally decided not to start at all in a drug store parking lot (mid July).

I called AAA and started poking around under the hood while I was waiting for the tow home.

Turns out the heavy red (ignition?) wire connected to the positive battery terminal had finally completely rusted through and broke off. I removed some insulation, cleaned things up, and re-attached it to the battery post.

Haven't had a hiccup since.

Thanks for your time and patience.
