I had this intermittent start issue for about a year. When it occurs, I discovered I could wiggle the sensor-connectors and it would start up. I narrowed it down to the male-end sensor-side connector for one of the sensors. Replacing that took care of the issue.

It's also common for the harness-side connector to have frayed wires underneath the rubber-boot. It carefully removed the rubber boot and found the insulation crumbing, but wiring was still good. So I just siliconed the area where the wires goes into the connector (stress-riser) and filled the boot with silicone and re-installed it.

So far, about 18-months without any issues.
