    Update: Since reading your update the Ignition Switch is more likely than ever. They are not expensive or hard to replace. Look it up, there are plenty of videos to show you.

    Spray starting fluid on the intake when it does not start.  Car does not start, check for spark while cranking  Car starts and dies, check fuel pressure.while cranking.  Good luck.
