Hello,

This sounds like it could be a problem with your Crankshaft Position Sensor(CKP). Here are are a few links explaining what a CKP sensor is, symptoms of when it goes bad, and how to replace it:

If I can jump I here. Will it run on starting fluid? Next if you turn the key on while cranking the engine can your hear the fuel pump run for five seconds?
