“… green key light is not on or blink when it dont start.” Is there a control module that could be failing (when in doubt, blame a computer)? ---

The next time the engine won’t start, take a can of starting fluid and give shot in the throttle and then try starting the engine. If the engine fires up and then dies it’s a fuel issue. If the engine doesn’t start at all, then it’s an ignition issue. Tester ---

You are not giving us anywhere close to sufficient information to help you. You say it doesn’t start. You don’t say what it DOES do when it doesn’t start. Does the engine crank? Do any lights come on? Help us help you. ---

If I interpret your last post correctly, it usually fails to start when it is warm or has just been shut down. It always starts when cold. When it fails to start, push the gas pedal to the floor and hold it for 30 seconds, then without letting up, turn the key to start. See if it starts then. If it does, you may have a leaking fuel injector or faulty fuel pressure regulator. ---

If you can get a noid light, and check to see if an injector is getting a pulse signal when trying to start the engine, it could tell you what’s wrong. If the noid light doesn’t flash while starting the engine then the problem is with Crankshaft/Top-Dead-Center position sensor.
