Why have Toyota stopped producing/selling sporty type cars in UK ?
Assuming that the engine is turning over fast enough with a hot battery the crankshaft sensor on the transmission bellhousing is bad. Changed so many of these I can do them in my sleep. We used to have a lot of customers with these vehicles and is an easy job. They sensors go bad and will not let the engine fire. Often they start out by having it hard to start after it sit for a bit and then finally will cause it not to start one day at all. Not expensive and only two bolts hold it on. It is on the transmission bellhousing on the rear of the engine near the top. Gotta reach it from under the car and plug the cable from the connector near the top of the engine after removing. Your miles are right around the time that they usually fail.sounds like a fuel pump or fuel relay problem. Better bring it in to get checked out and tell the mechanic the problem.
