You are probably on the right track with your troubleshooting, but your car is old enough to have the problem described in the FAQ as "rotten battery cables" and can cause some weird problems. If you have not done anything with the battery cables you might want to take a real close look. Corrosion of the wires under the crimps can cause high resistance and lower voltage to the car's electronics. Next time it is acting up, watch the voltmeter.

This may not be your problem, but watch out for it because it can make you think it is a different problem.
