Ok, search "Mystery No Start", the engine control relay output from the RCM, if it fails, means the engine quits running and the starter won't engage. Sounds like you have what is about the most common "my car left me stranded" complaint on this forum.

And there are no codes to read when this happens, it is what the I.T. people would call a "layer 1" problem.
Plus one on this diagnosis.
Read this PDF CLICK for full details and repair of poor solder connections.
Look at the contacts on the relay as stated above, if they are burnt replace it.
