I'm sorry I don't have more information about the nature of the problem, but I think we had some good discussion here and I'm quite relieved that this didn't turn into another big car project (as I already have enough of those.)

Happy to hear it! That makes 2 of us. Perhaps as these cars age and sit this will become more of a common issue us owners will find as we fire them up.
