At that time, I pulled a DTC of P0141.......but common sense tells that an O2 sensor would not cause a 'dead' start on a vehicle. So, yesterday I tried starting it and it completely dead on my driveway (lucky). I checked the battery (12.66v) and cleaned the terminals.

I'm thinking it is the starter relay since there is no clicking or cranking. I don't think it would be the starter coil since that wouldn't be intermittent as the problem started out.

Could it be the Park/Neutral switch located on the transmission or the actual ignition switch on the steering column ?
Lot of could be's.
And a starter solenoid can act up part time.

Proper testing.
When it acts up with no start.
Always check battery and cables and grounds and positive cable to starter.
Also engine ground.
And 12 volts fuse boxes and to ing switch.
Check purple wire to starter solenoid for 12 volts key on crank.

If no 12 volts work back to starter relay and neutral saftey switch and crank fuse and ign switch.

Yellow wire from ign switch to start fuse .
Fuse to neutral switch is purple.
Neutral switch to starter relay purple and white wire.
Relay to starter solenoid wire is purple.
Post back what you find

Any remote start or anti theft stuff added to it?
