This is a long shot, but where we live in Houston, we have a "dirt dauber" problem.  If your car sits a while, they can build their mud nests, and raise all kind of havoc.  Many a person has taken their weed eater/yard implements to the shop because they won't start, ony to have the tech clean the mud nests out and start them right up.    ----BILL Lewis
