Camshaft position sensor (G40) would be my first bet.... sometimes they play up with the heat and give inconsistent behaviour - the sensor is only really needed to get the car started so the brain knows where everything is as the engine is turned over.Paul Nugent

Check out my thread Here aswell.. Similar behaviour. I agree on the advice to check the G40 first. Easiest is to check with a good multimeter or a diode.
If you connect the multimeter on the backside of your G40 contact, (two lower pins), you should see 5,0V with ignition on. Check your multimeter while cranking. You should get a dip every rotation of the rotor.If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
