I would look at body grounds for your intermintent electrical problems sometimes there is a ground in the car near the driver door kick panel under the carpet

Thanks for your reply
Would the crank shaft position sensor explain the black smoke when I try to rev it during problematic cranks?
Also, may I ask why you would not first suggest a bad fuel pump? Others have suggested I try that first. It's expensive too though, so I'm trying to gather more information. If you don't think it's the fuel pump, I'd love to hear your rationale!
thanks,
