Check the ignitor...when mine went it would shut the car down randomly while driving and then sometimes I could crank the car right back up other times it would just crank and crank untill after a while of sitting (like 10min+) it would finally start up. I drive a manual car and when it would shut down on me I would try to pop the clutch while I was still moving and it wouldn't even try to start because it wasn't getting any spark. The ignitor can test good even though it is bad too so don't let anyone tell you it tests fine. When I replaced mine I did an ohm test between the old and new one and the numbers were almost exactly the same...I concluded that something was getting hot inside of the ignitor and would come loose and once it cooled back down it would be fine kind of like a circuit breaker that reset itself.
