When the problem is ongoing. If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Also, check fuel injector pulse.

When problem is ongoing check for rpm signal, comes from crank sensor.

Any other ideas, jump in.
