Ok, due to cost I did this myself. It was hard to get at. There was
a plastic tie holding the wires to part of the inside of the dash. I
broke the tie and was able to maneuver the box out from behind the
dash. I unplugged it and inspected the solders. They all looked fine
even under a magnifying glass. I have spoken to many people and done
thorough research so I'm 99% sure this was the problem. I decided to
simply reheat all the solders. This may cause problems in the future
but it seems to have fixed the immediate problem. I left my car in
the sun with windows up till this afternoon when I just went out to
try it. It was very hot inside and normally wouldn't have started but
it started no problem. I'll be more certain it's 100% after some more
use.
