Default Intermittent Start Failure

Hopefully someone can help... intermittently my 2005 SRT 6 convertible will not start. On turning the key, the engine cranks normally but makes a “chuffing” sound from under the hood. Believe it or not, I can get the car to start by telescoping the steering wheel three or four times and then turning the key. Any ideas?

Crank but no start is usually the Crank Position sensor. Good power on but no crank is usually the Relay Control Module solder connections.
