Hello!

IMHO your crankshaft position sensor have died! It sometimes fails out of blue sky, sometimes not, but the symptoms you describe clearly indicate to CPS as the culprit! First check its multiplug for clean good contact! But in such case i'm not shure if you will have low volts on both ignition coils! Anyway worth checking both coils - if one of them has failed from internal short circuit, the engine won't star on two pots either! And obviously check for DTC!!!

Hope it'll be of some help for you!!!

Best regs,
