Not "weird". If your spark disappears, the car will not run. You've never
checked for spark, have you?

90% of start problems are ignition-related. Right now yours sounds like the
igniter.

Could have told you that right from the beginning in that other thread you
started then abandoned. 90% of start problems are ignition-related.

Instead of yakkin' it up in here, go do some actual diagnostics instead.
You never know, you might just find your problem.
