i had a similar prob with this type of car and it drove me nuts for weeks with intermittent starting or not starting for a few days. i changed several sensors, at cost. in my case it was down to the tube around the back of the engine which carries the coolant from the top hose. it had corroded and and dripped water onto the sensor below it and shorted it out. i changed the the tube and left the sensor to dry, and hey presto no more problems. hope this helps
