When cranking it in the "no start" situation does the tach register any RPM? If not, you probably have a Cam Position Sensor on its way out.

Common failure.

Mine too. No tach movement until the engine actually fires. Sounds like the cps to me also.

I would say take a fuel pressure test if you can on these PSD's, i'm pretty sure you can.
