Old Mechanic -
Yes, thanks again. My goal with the bump starter is to make it so that if I get stranded, *after* I do the diagnosis you are suggesting, I will use the bump starter + safety precautions to get going again. I am typically 25+ miles from home at any one location during the week, so I am pretty much on my own when this problem happens.
I just spoke with my mechanic. I have gotten over 200K miles out of the original starter, so I told him to install a new one. Sooooooo, my car is getting a present. It probably is the ignition switch, so that will be next on the list if/when the problem happens again.
