You said in your original post that the starter motor doesn't kick in at all. Is this still the case? If so, roll down the window and listen for a single *click* coming from the engine compartment when you turn the key to Start. Could be that your starter is getting worn out.
Forget the crank sensor! It
WILL NOT prevent the starter motor from spinning the engine over!!! Your problem is in the starting circuit!!!
Back to basics:
If you do not hear the "click" as joe suggested; your starter relay may be going bad. It is located in the power distribution center under the hood. You can simply swap it with one of the other relays to test!
Also, you can remove the relay when you are in one of the no start situations and jumper pins 30 to 87 and when you do this if starter motor spins, then your problem is not the starter, but in one of the starter circuits feeding the relay, i.e. ign. switch, neutral start switch, etc...
If when you jumper pins 30 to 87 and starter does not function, then your starter motor is bad or you have a bad connection at the starter or bad (+ or - ) battery cable connection and the starter is not getting enough voltage to spin or a loose or bad ground between engine and battery. Check all connections for cleanliness and tightness...
