Update:

I went to do my annual cleaning of my AFe air filter. I started the engine with it off to see if it had an affect on the starting issue - it didn't, however, the driver side head light bulb went out (low and high beam). Both my front bulbs are very new, and this is now also the continuation of an issue I've been having for the past few years where my bulbs blow out when I start the engine every few months, always one at a time.

I used to have a battery light but got that to go away by fixing a voltage regulator pigtail harness that melted - I thought that had also fixed the premature headlight burning issue.

I took the car into a local mechanic and he is going to look at it Friday, but he hasn't been able to duplicate the starting issue. I am on my last legs with this car and am for the first time seriously considering getting rid of it. Just undiagnosable electric issues, and now this starting issue which I cannot live with because of using the car for a delivery service for work.

edit: I should add my cheap OBDII scanner is pulling zero codes. Mechanic thinks it's something electrical or the starter, will run tests on Friday.
