Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the super thorough reply. Car is kept garaged, so hopefully the rains didn't impact it too much. No abnormal lights on the dash or messages.

I did think I heard the fuel pump, so I was hoping that meant not RCM. No fan spinning at warp speed.

Skreem was my first hypothesis, since I have had a few skreem related incidents, but they were previously fixed by disconnecting the battery, and now disconnecting the battery does seem to reset something, since I get 1 or 2 half-turns of the engine out of it before I get nothing, but it doesn't fix things like before.

CPS - don't know about this, did leave the car for a day and try again, no luck.

SLA - no spills that I'm aware of, and I'm the only one driving it

Battery was checked by AAA and shouldn't be too old, but I could try replacing it.

TCM - not sure about this, I'll investigate this and the PCM.

Thanks for taking the time to list all these ideas; I will see what I can figure out and update in case others have similar problems.

So appreciate the help and love this forum. I'm the only 40 something woman I know working on her own car, and all the help I've gotten here is what has kept me owning the crossfire.
