Has it been hard to start like this the past after sitting for 10 days?

Maybe you need to start every day and drive it to see if you see what it's really doing and note any other symptoms. If it works good on a daily basis why sweat it?

No I drive it about every other day. It happened about 12 days ago then 2 days ago. That's it.

Maybe I'll replace the Crank sensor again this time not cheating out.

I'm dreading dealing with that clip again on the Crank sensor.

So I ended up changing out the crank sensor several months ago and have not had any issues until couple days ago.

Now similar issues with not starting HOWEVER as weird as this may seem , this time I discovered hitting the gas pedal while cranking gets it to fire. I understand this technique usually doesn't apply to fuel injection cars but it works. What could this be? Leaking/dirty fuel injectors? I did witness a rich fuel smell upon start-up. will fuel injection clean be worth while with the canister style element cleaning system?

Bad crank sensor won’t crank at all.
