did you check all your grounds and the PCM connectors to see if they are shot?

Had lead wires down to the CrankPosSensor fried by the exhaust on a jeep couple years back, go with checking the connections and look at the wires condition too. Just so I understand correctly, you describe no fuel pump power and no ignition spark at the same time, right?

This does sound like a problem with the crankshaft position sensor circuit.

For an intermittent issue like this, I would start by removing the connector to the crank sensor at the bellhousing, where it is located. Get a can of electronic contact cleaner (available everywhere for about $4.00). Thoroughly spray and clean the connector with that cleaner. Then add a small dab of dielectric grease (important) and reconnect.

The crank sensor connectors are subject to some debris getting inside and debris equals resistance path and that can create electrical gremlins.

Good place to start..........
