When I had a CAS issue on track, it was very similar. Car had a terrible time starting...took some pumping of the pedal and it would sputter/fart/not run, and then fire off. Once it ran though, it ran fine almost all morning until lunch hour, when I came off a session, the revs dropped, and it stalled out...and didn't restart. I tried doing a quick diagnostic and recognized that I did not have spark/intermittant spark. It would run, but poorly, and then stall...sometimes not start at all
Took the cas out, opened it up, and could immediatly detect that burnt electronics smell, and noticed a brown dust on the inside. Replaced the CAS, and all was well.
It seems like the optical sensor is what takes a s*** in these things more than anything (bent wheels occasionally, but that's rare). With that said, this entire time the CAS was not throwing a code.
All considered, I'd say it's a CAS issue more than anything. Ignitors do fail, but not all at once.
I may have a spare pickup head I can send you if you like to test out. Shoot me a message on facebook if you want to try one, I can have it shipped to ya Monday in a flatrate box.
