Hello, with an engine that cranks and will not start, first see if the "theft" indicator light for the passive anti theft system (PATS) is flashing while you are trying to start. Typically on this vehicle, if that's the case, it will not even crank, but warrants just having a look. Second, you likely have a fuel, ignition or air intake issue occurring. Testing would be needed to find out if you have fuel pressure at the time of the problem occurring. Then, if you have fuel pressure, check for spark at your coils. Ensure you have no air box or air intake restrictions. Once you find out which element is missing, troubleshooting can continue towards finding the root cause and making repairs.
How and where do I check the fuel pressure sensor
You won’t be checking the fuel pressure sensor. Multiple components and systems, such as base fuel pressure, should be checked. Fuel pressure is checked with a manual gauge on the fuel rail, and should be done by a professional so as to not create a fire hazard.
