Cool 2005 no start, turns over great - not fuel delivery

I'm recently experiencing some intermittent issue with the 2005 Crossfire. I originally thought it might be fuel delivery due to fact, car sits up for months at a time, (trickle charger connected, and started once a week for 10mn run). Thought it might be fuel delivery bc, I come out from local store and go to crank it, and it turns over great but acts like either, no fire or no fuel. Someone I called suggested shaking the car vigorously, and oddly, the car started. And, another time, similar situation, car didn't start. Had it towed on a flatbed wrecker to my home. Upon arrival at my home, tried starting just to see, and it started up immediately.

So, as the saga continues, I've replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter and am putting non-ethanol fuel in tank, thought it should be fixed. (Car runs great!) Then, next couple days, it does the same thing. Spins over, and engages the electronic controlled start where it continues to run starter till it times out.... (3-5sec?) Can I get some feedback? And, yes, I'm getting a dummy light to "Check Engine". When I asked a local shop to check the code, I'm not confident they're using the right code reader or that they clearly know how to use it. Just my assumption here. Comments please.
