Bingo, bad kill switch. I think the switch itself is dying. I used my kill switch bypass mod that I installed here, and it fired up.

First time commuting with the car (boo rainy day) in a while was today. Everything was going good, then all of a sudden I couldn't bump start the car. I put on the 4 ways and pull over a bit, open the glove box, flip the switch and bump start again and it fires right up. So, it looks like the switch is on its way out. Rated for half a million cycles.... I'm sure I haven't killed the car THAT many times... yet.
