You should get someone out there. With as many A's as there are, there must be a club or another A in your vicinity.

An experienced mechanic can see, feel, smell and hear things that you might not be relating. Long distance communication is very limited in effectiveness. I had a similar incident where the guy was struggling for weeks with a no start, and I found the problems (there were 2 interacting) in less than 5 minutes . He had not accurately described the symptoms because, being unfamiliar with an A, he did not notice them and was chasing one theory while not seeing a few facts. Sometimes another perspective is needed to break away from a theory that is not working.
