You are either getting a weak sending unit, or weak fuel pump, or need a fuel filter. Most likely your filter though. mechhound 12-03-2006, 08:58 PM I suspect one of your ignition components may be dieing temporarily when it won't start. My advice would be to get some sort of spark tester and keep it in the truck at all times. The next time it won't start, hook up the spark tester and see if it is firing. You may need a remote starter switch also if there is no assistant around when it won't start. This would be the easiest thing to check first. Good luck. silverado122775 12-08-2006, 04:29 PM It could be your Fuel Preasure Regulator. Not sure if Ford uses them or not. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
