Check to see if you are getting spark and fuel to the engine when it doesn't start. Also, check the EEC relay.

The EEC relay is the electronic engine control relay. It is located under the hood in the relay box. Switch it with another relay with the same part number from the box.

As far as the checking for spark and fuel, there are detailed directions on our homepage under the DIY section.
