Recently I had been experiencing a random starting problem with my 04 (47k). It seems on hot days it will turn over the engine but not start. I jumped the car and it starts first time, so thinking it was a battery problem I replaced the battery. Everything was fine for a few days until first hot day, no start. I searched the forum and seen a lot of posts about bad camshaft and crankshaft position sensors. This was what I was experiencing so first I replaced the camshaft sensor, good for a few days then the car stalled out, I was able to restart after a while but figured must then be the crankshaft sensor. I replaced that but this time the car started to misfire on acceleration and had a noticeable loss of power. Back to the forum and found the RCM issue so off I go again and make the solder fix (joints did look fine but made the fix anyway). No go! The car is still misfiring and not sure where to go from here other than sending it into the dealer.

Any ideas wound be appreciated. Could it be the fuel filter or pump? Also I read that you had to use OEM Bosch sensors which I did not.

Really need to invest in a code reader!
