Probably not the coil, though. They usually don't fail like that.
Bob - I think you nailed it when you said...looks like something is getting ready to die...

So this morning I pull the car out, check all connections and decided to start and then move wires, connections looking for an issue.

It started and before I could crawl out of the car it died. This time permanently. Would not restart. The ECU light on the dash that illuminates when the key is on indicating the ECU is working is not illuminating.

So I think it is the ECU that failed.

Thanks for the input.

Jeff
