u need to check them wires at the pump
check the coil also
to answer your PM
When it does not start you need to check for spark
pull one of the spark plug wires place it near ground
ask a helper to crank the engine
you watch for a spark arching from the wire
also check the relays at the side of the fender
and let me know

all good but you need to check for spark arching
and let me know
so if it does spark what does that mean and if it does not what does that mean
if it does you need to look for fuel and fuel pump
and if it does nt you have coil relays
replace crank sensor
it is the pick up coil or the ingition coil
do you have spark or not
yes there is a spark
sorry i looked at it and i was looking on line at some things too but yes it does spark too
then u should be looking for a fuel issue
turn key on and listen at the rear by the tank for the fuel pump does it come on when 1st key on
it some times does and then some times i do not hear it but the car does tun on
