My 99 doesnt have a "EDC" light or if it does its never been on before, perhaps they mean the CEL is on? Would be nice to know what code is present regardless.

Quite posible during the no start phase the key was turned with no glow period and PO380 popped up on CEL. Notes attempted/failed start on cold GP's. Will turn itself off after 3 cold start cycles (Usually a day and a half).

Not much you can do about codes out in the boonies. Still think the problem is related to lack of fuel delivery/air intrusion and would concentrate on that. About the only whoosh of air big enough to kill it when running would be from the pre-filter area.
