Hey tman2093,
My friend and I check a lot of connections, relays, and fuses, and they all checked out. We finally said, "Lets clean the battery cables." The positive battery cable definitely showed a lot of corrosion (greenish residue). I separated the parts of the positive cable the best I could and cleaned them with baking soda and a stiff brush. I also cleaned the area of the battery where the cable is attached via a screw. The positive cable was definitely a lot cleaner once I was done. The negative cable looked perfectly clean, which I guess isn't unusual. Anyway, we hooked up the cables again and the car started like a champ. So far, so good. It's started up since early evening and has continued to start up at various times through the evening.
My friend and I are fairly certain this was the problem based on everything else looking good and the strange way the car kept dying. I'll keep a close eye on it over the next couple days and let everyone know.
Thanks for all the help,
Mark
