I've experienced this same problem and perhaps you've come up with a cure.
It actually happened at a corvette show last year and a couple of enthusiasts wanted to hear the LT5 start up and rev. Guess What? Damn thing wouldn't start. That's embarrassment. I have found out that a jump seems to take care of the problem. That in itself is embarrassing. What I now do is have a portable charge unit with me at all times and if this happens I open the hood up, hook up the portable unit and it seems to start. Perhaps someone here with knowledge can steer me to the correct part replacement if all it takes to start is more voltage. The battery is fine and the car will start 10-40 times no problem, but then at the most embarrassing time - NO START! I agree intermittant problems are a bit$h. I would rather have something just poop out and let me replace it. Thanks for letting me rant. I am going to a car show on Saturday and if this happens again (I'm almost sure it will) car has been starting fine for weeks, I will once again suck it up and be embarrassed.
