Ignition module (under the coilpacks)

Try heating it up with a hairdryer when the motor's cold, see if it has no spark then....

I think it will...that's pretty common and happens like you described.

The other thing that does that is the crank sensor, I see you already thought of that, soooo...

Usually you replace them both at the same time since they have similar service life...so you didn't really do anything unwarranted by changing it too...
