Well it seems this issue has been coming up a lot lately with the age of these cars. My car did it for like a year and I suspected it was a VATS issue. It was cranking but not starting and I did not have a security light staying on so it wasn't VATS. I replaced the fuel pump and I still had the issue. I had plenty of fuel pressure at the rail and it would occasionally start. After awhile it wouldn't start at all. It ended up being an ignition relay after spending all the money on a pump. Don't swap with other relays as you may just be swapping a bad relay into another place that will still make your car not start. Put a new ignition relay in it. I bet it will fix the problem and it's cheap. Good luck.
