The no start condition was (now is) every 10th attempt. Turn the
key and ...nothing. This didn't take but 10 min. to trace to the VR
the first time. I can get it to start without exception by tapping or
wiggling the VR. The next time it happens I'll get my trouble light
and see exactly where it is.
I think there is something more than a weak battery going on. I've
had no trouble starting the car, even below freezing. It seems as
though some times there is less juice available than others... I'll
take Jim's FAQ and the Bentley out to the garage this weekend.
