[s-cars] 92 S4 no-start, kinda, well for about 40 minutes

My Crank position sensor failed this way. IT was totally dead, or would run  
just barely, then was fine. This lasted a week, or so until it dies totally.

otherwise well-running, purely stock car. Half a tank of gas left. 144K  
miles. Had been driven all day, spiritedly, with no signs of illness. Parked  it 
today while getting my boy's and my haircut, for about 45 minutes. Came  out, 
cranked, would start and run for about 1-2 seconds, but rough, and then  die. 
Feathering throttle didn't help. Tried this about 10-15 times, same.  Called 
AAA to get a tow, and started waiting. About 40 minutes later I was  getting 
impatient and tried to start it again and like nothing, it started  right up and 
ran fine all the way home (about 10 miles, stop and go suburban  driving and 
then about a 4 mile run out into the country where I live). Audi  Gods just not 
liking me today?
Have not pulled codes but may try that on  Monday with VAG-COM (Cody???)
