The alternator is original. Though I have a battery cutoff switch, I have jumped the battery from time to time. I have an unrepaired ac leak, so I don't drive the D a lot when it's unbearably hot. I'll loosen the idle speed motor and see if it looks like it's moving as expected when the car starts. The one I installed a few years ago was working, but not new, which I failed to mention.

I'd go with David, it's most likely a fault with the CIS system (constant idle 
speed), it could be the control unit has failed, they can act very wierd. The 
question that might be worth asking is why it has now failed twice, for example 
is the alternator regulating properly? It's quite sensitive to things like jump 
starting too. Early days but based on what you've said it's the most likely 
thing.

Best Wishes,

Martin

 I'll try it again. It didn't make any difference awhile ago, but as the saying 
goes, that was then, this is now.

Try the plug swap and see if it starts up quickly. If it does then you have a 
problem in the CSV system.
