Try removing all of the ignition and fuel injection connectors, clean them and put them back together with di-electric grease. You might get lucky and find one that has obvious green corrosion.

You might test the components once the car is in failure mode by spraying the various modules with compressed gas (for computer cleaning) held upside down. It will freeze the component and may start it working if only momentarily.

Since your car was lazy all summer I am betting on a bad connector somewhere.

Just replacing components can get expensive.
