Is it cranking okay? If it cranks but no start, there may be an issue with the cam or crank sensor, or a lack of fuel pressure. or an issue with the anti theft.

Ken F. thank you. I am old and not very car savvy even though I drive a lot. What do you mean an issue with the anti theft. How would I find out about that? A dealer?

For the anti theft, you would see a blinking red light on the dash somewhere during the no start occurrences. It might happen if the key and anti theft module lost their sync. If you have a remote start that might also interfere with the anti theft too.
