Got the intermittent problem. I can just finish driving go to start again n it will crank, I can hear the fuel pump prime but it will not start. Sometimes it will start ruff idle n stall, crank it again to no start. After a few trys it will start run good.

Recently install new timing belt, no codes present.
Thinking cam sensor,

I would take the covers off the steering column and do some dielectric grease on the connector for the antenna ring around ignition lock cylinder. Your symptoms fit for antenna ring/key recognition issues.
