    I had a problem in Jan/Feb this year like you have and it turned out to be my original battery terminals (they had become conical shaped over the years) I suppose from removing to reboot or clear a cell. They apparently were only making good contact with the battery terminal near the top and "coned" away from the terminal going down the battery post. I put new terminals on (regular style ones from advance/autozone??) and haven't had a problem since.

    I let the car dry out and sit for 2 days
    cleaned the post and cables at the battery
    and now, it starts fine.

    Still have the CEL
    code came back as 2nd Bank 2nd O2 sensor
    downstream .

    Could also be just a bad non sealing gascap too.

    Ill probably end up buying both O2s for the pass
    side and a new gascap just to be safe.

    and then O2s for the dr side in a few more weeks.
    all 4 look original and the Vx has 113k on it anyways.

    thanks guys
