Well, after casually looking around on the internet (this after shrugging shoulders, and throwing arms up in defeat) I came across a suggestion of possible flooding. I had also seen some mention of this from a brickboard search. A few bittersweet recollections of my days in tinkering with rotary engines got me thinking that the two quick starts and stops my dad performed when the car last ran could have caused the car to flood.
Walked outside, pulled fuel pump fuse, cranked it over about 8 seconds four times with wide open throttle. Sat a minute, replaced fuel pump fuse, tried again with WOT. Started, runs fine. Walked inside, scolded my dad for quick start and shutdown.
Moral of the story: If you want to wash your car in the near future, park it where you are planning to wash it. If you must move a car a short distance, still let it run a minute or two.
BTW, thanks for the suggestions guys.
