Ya know...there is one other thing that could be related to all this that I hadn't thought of until now. About a year ago, the car started refusing to shift into high gear. It turned out to be a computer that sits under the front right upper floor. I ordered and replaced the part, and the car has shifted just fine ever since. I was told the old unit had been built by the factory with less than required capacitors. The new unit had higher capacitors. The current starting problem, however, started about a year later, so I doubt it's related.

When the CEL is on, the engine is operating in "limp" mode and will not be working very well. Reset the ECU by removing the 7.5 A radio fuse. Then read the code if the CEL comes on again.
