Check for applicable mil codes, if you haven't already? How long since a tune-up? When the problem occurs, if it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. The problem could be almost anything? I have to start with the basics.
