My money is on the crank trigger plate. Check your crank angle sensor too while you are at it.

I'll have them look into that as well. What I really need to do is get rid of this crappy mini-battery business. I need to relocate to the trunk and use a full sized battery. Either that or not be lazy and disconnect the battery during the week.

Noted. I'm going to mention all of these things to CBRD next time I talk to them. How hard is it to check the plate? Was it something that would have been noticeable while the timing belt was being changed?

Turns out it was the battery! They charged it for a little bit and it started right up and ran fine. Drove it home with no issues.

CBRD has outstanding customer service! This was my first time having them work on the car, and I will definitely take it back there when I need work done.

Thank you everyone for advice and input! I appreciate it!
