Thanks again for all the comments and suggestions for this ongoing issue.

It does not appear to be the fuel related components mentioned (above) as there is plenty of fuel flowing as indicated by the strong smell of gas after cranking. It really seems to be an ignition issue.

It had been suggested that the voltage protection relay could be going. This is the aluminum bodied, black-capped relay with a fuse on the top of it. It is located on the firewall, just to the driver's side of center. While the fuse is good, it's possible the temp could still be affecting the contacts inside. Sound plausible?

I was also told that if this relay is not the problem, that it should probably be replaced anyway since it would be problematic eventually.

So with all that said, what could be affected by temperature that impacts the ignition system firing or not? And no, the car wouldn't start this morning, hence the post. Funny how such events go hand in hand.

*Edit* Reading back, is the relay I'm talking about the same as the OVP relay mentioned above possibly? It sure seems to match the loaction and description...
