I found some dirt and a crispy dead bug or two but no evidence of moisture of any kind at any time. Pulled out the TCU to make sure all the connections were good. (last thing I messed with 2 months ago) Tomorrow, time permitting, I'm getting under the car to check the fuel pump and then starter connections. Next to last thing I had apart was the pump. The starter motor connections because I've been hearing a slight rattle lately from somewhere up front that I haven't been able to locate. If all that is a bust I'll start calling the local dealerships and my help network to see who has a diagnostic ability for my car. Feeling sad.
