 At the time it won't start, check for spark, injecter pulse and fuel pressure to see which one your losing.

 How about spark and injecter pulse? This fuel pressure was tested when the vehicle wouldn't start, right?  

That fuel pressure reading is actually too high. It should be 38-43 PSI engine off key on. With the engine running at idle, it should read 25-30 PSI
