This was my point when I asked the last question. If the car won't start, then clearly the problem is not an intermittent.

As for durametric helping with an intermittent issue, it will help as much as any portable diagnostic tool. If you've had an intermittent failure, you carry your laptop with you and then plug in at the time of failure.

I've had two crank sensors fail in 2 different non-Pcars. In my experience a failing CPS tends to manifest symptoms after the car is warmed up to operating temperature, it almost never happens when its cold. The engine dies while driving, or what's more likely you stop...for gas or a quick bite to eat and then come back to a car that won't start. You end up waiting it out, trying repeatedly until it finally starts, or you have it towed to a shop and low and behold it starts right up when the mechanic tries it.
