Have you tried replacing the Main Relay? I'd bet that's it.

Frankly, after having mine towed home, I haven't done anything to it
(except be more frustrated!) for two days. In my case, the relay tests
fine on the bench, but the car doesn't start! Even after resting and
cooling off. :-( So, I'm thinking I'll just replace the relay for good
measure and seeing if that takes care of the problem. After all, ALL of
the research I've done (and it's been extensive at this point!) says
that even IF the relay is OK now, it's likely to go any moment. And for
$60 or so, maybe it's worth trying-?

I'll let you know how mine turns out!

Good Luck!
Tony
