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 plugs. You can carry a known good spark plug or spark tester in your glove-box, it won't get hot. If the plug wires are hot, use a glove, pull plug wire off plug. Stick tester in the plug boot. Ground metal part of plug tester to metal part of engine. Watch for spark, engine cranking. Any applicable trouble codes?
