I think we are onto something. 31F here and she started excellent. Cranked right over with no pedal and held a nice idle.

The ignition switch has been suspect the whole time. With the shut off valve possible issue and it not shutting down immediately when turning the key off.

It is sometimes hard to turn the key on and jiggling the steering wheel does not help. Well today I found if I insert the key and turn it with slight pressure outward it turns very easily. And what do you know... It started like a champ.

I will do a search on replacing the ignition switch.
Thanks a bunch for all of your help thus far!
