runs great despite mileage, but about 10 to 15 percent of the time, it just won't start. no spark from coilpack. turns over, but won't catch. If I wait long enough, it will start and than be fine for a couple of weeks, then the process starts over again. very frustrating and annoying. I have checked all of the plugs and sensors that I can find, cleaned battery terminals, checked crank sensor, and also all of the relays in the engine compartment. It doesn't not start long enough for code checks, because it usually starts when the reader is hooked up. Please help me find what I am missing here. Thanks
