Check the electrical plugs around the engine bay. Long shot but it could be that one has become loose.

I know on the 8 valve engines, it's common for the crank sensor plug to disintegrate where it's too close to the engine. Plastic just falls apart over time. Has the engine got wet at all? Could try water repellent spray around the coil pack, electrics etc.

One 10mm bolt. Just make a mental note of where the wire runs as it runs behind the engine mount
