It can certainly be a WHOLE bunch of other things creating the same no start scenario so it all depends on how you want to spend your money.

Spending money replacing parts until problem is solved or spending money having someone fault tracing the problem until the culprit is found and repaired.

We here on the internet without the possibility to look at the car can only give you the most likely causes and suggestions.

If you like to continue driving the car, you can test it out yourself.

Drive until really, really hot. Park it on a parking lot out in the scorching sun for about 15-20 min and then try to start the car.If it doesn't start, open the hood and wait for another 30 min (or maybe an hour). If the car starts, do the same procedure again and again.

That will pretty much narrow it down to a failing CKP sensor.

You can also drive the car until really hot, and quickly measure the resistance over pin 1 and 2 on engine harness toward the CKP sensor. At room temp the resistance should be around 860 Ohm +-90 Ohm. If you see a reading of several thousands of Ohm or even higher, the CKP sensor is bad.
