Have you checked the coil? Have you checked to see if there is power to the crank sensor?

I would replace the crankshaft impulse sensor which will cause this problem. We should run the codes as well to see if any are stored.

Here is the location of the sensor so you can swap it out which should fix the problem. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
