Crank angle sensor. My daily did the exact same thing 6 months ago. Was hard to start warm, then one day at the shops wouldn't start at all. Easily checked with a scan tool, check wave length for crank sensor, cam sensor, and map sensor. Good luck.

you take it to a mechanic with a scan tool. nearly all of your local servo mechanics should have one by now.

I'd be changing the coil pack. They sit under the inlet manifold and do get affected by heat. Will probably solve your fuel economy issues too.
