Hello, why replace the parts if failure was not verified?
Your vehicle needs fuel pressure and delivery, ignition spark, the appropriate amount of air getting into the intake and exhaust flow to start. It also has to have no anti-theft system intervention. It's not a mystery - testing will show what is missing when the problem occurs. High end diagnostic equipment (not just a code reader) and a trained technician with a shop manual would be indispensable in resolving this concern.
