Thanks for your knowledgeable response. My engine is a 4.0 liter V6. It rarely happened and now this month it has done it 4 x. Yesterday, I went shopping about 30 miles away. I was in the store for 45 minutes and came out and it wouldn't start. It sounds like it is flooded, right away. It doesn't turn over. I walked to another store and came back 40 minutes later and it started right up. Sounds great while running. This morning I went out and it did it again. This time I opened the passenger door and listened for the fuel pump - but it was too noisy outside. I shut the door and tried it again and this time it started. I feel like it must be the fuel pump. Could some valve be stuck that causes it to flood? If brushes or a connection is corroded, would that mean I would have to replace the fuel pump?
