Check all of the grounds in the Fuel injection system. If your mechanics
do not have the schematics, both the Bentley and the Haynes manuals have
them.

Next check/replace your ignition switch. Your symptoms can come from
having too many keys/bowling balls/lucky charms on your key ring, thus
wearing out the ignition switch as that massive weight sways and wiggles
in traffic, destroying the delicate innards of the switch. Take all such
crap off you r key ring to prevent recurrence.
