Well, first off, I'd almost bet money it was simply your voltage regulator. My car did the same thing, and the symptoms your describing is the battery regaining just enough power to allow it to fire up, but that's it. Your getting bent over without lube dude.

Good luck, enjoy writing the check. BTW the local dealers in Denver just suck. About as helpful as a dead cow. But, the salesmen sure did like my car....
