Check the splice that is about 4-6 inches below the underhood fusebox. 3 wires into one, red or red/white wires. Redo that splice.

i had similar problems before and it turned out to be the crankshaft position sensor. Check and make sure the plug is not corroded and making good connections, and then make sure that the wires have not been pulled on, resulting in separation from the sensor. The sensor is located on the very back of the block, right behind the passenger side cylinder head.

Did you check for codes?
Throwing money at it will not help.
