Almost sounds like an ECM failure...Check all the connections at the ECM and the condition of the wires. You could have a new tenant that moved in on you and needed some wire insulation for his bed...

When my '02 had the same type of issues it was this plug. I simply removed it, blew it out with air, and stuck it back in... that was 5+ years ago and not an issue since.

I found my problem to be a loose connection in the plugs going into the dash You might also read thru here:
