LOL....well and if doesn't help you I will give several other things it could be.... Definitely do the RCM solder fix. If it sat that long your battery is toast. Just go out and buy one, I wouldn't waste my time testing it. Alternator might be bad, but I doubt it. These cars are very sensitive to having the right voltage and amps to everything. The least little spike or low voltage and look out. Either will run rough or not run at all. I hope your Mom got a great buy on this car, because you will fix it shortly...did I say shortly?
