When the problem occurs, if it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Any applicable trouble codes? How long since a tune-up?

When it doesn't start, check to see if you are getting spark and proper fuel pressure.
