This sounds like the exact same problem I had a couple months back. I am also at high mileage (218k). Almost positive it is your starter going out.

there are so many things that can cause that issue, bad coils, bad igniter, ecu, etc... gotta start somewhere - is it actually getting fuel? is there spark? pull the top timing cover and at least see if the top two cam gears will line up...
