Authur,I think my twisting of the fuses is what got the car started yesterday. I have been meaning to replace all the fuses for some time now ... today I replaced every fuse in the car, I found fuse #5 ( stop lamp,instrument,roof light,cruise,tach ) to have a hairline fracture in the element. I tried to start the car with this fuse removed and experienced the same symptoms I had yesterday... problem solved! Thanks, Dan
