When the problem occurs, have a helper crank the vehicle, while you check for spark at the plugs. If you have the 2.2 litre engine, you can pull a plug wire, stick known good plug in the boot, ground metal part of plug to metal part of engine, watch for spark at tip of plug as engine is being cranked. If you have good spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure.
If you have the 2.4 checking spark is a little more awkward, can still be done. The autostore sells a cheap spark tester.
