I’ve replaced the alternator and starter and fuel pump relay with no success. I found rat damage to the knock sensor but who knows what else was damaged by a rat. I don’t see other damage.
Run a voltage drop test across the primary battery cables; they are known to develop internal corrosion which leads to resistance issues, particularly when warm.
