After two days of trying to get the car started with a variety of
techniques, I gave up and had it towed for repair. It sat for 1 day at
the shop and cranked up fine the first try for the mechanic.
Grrrrrr....but good news all the same, no repair charges and the tow
was free.

Thanks for all of the advise!
