Turned out to be a faulty fuel pump

This is a friends truck and he hasn't been back to the site yet, scarperformance.com/forum/viewtopic.

You havent even bothered to pass ofn our advice to check the fuel system. all that needs to be done is hook up a fuel pressure gauge when the no start situation is happening good fuel pressure and it rules it out.

No not yet, just wanted to get a few other theories and most are pointing at the fuel system. You never know with these kind of intermittent troubles.

I believe your problem will be in the ignition system and not a fuel problem. The key is that your vehicle starts back after it sits for a hour. That is a possible overheating part in the ignition system which would throw code P0302. Check to see what part took place of the control module / igniter and the problem may lie there. Vehicle with control module or igniters usually have that problem when the threshold of the of the unit is failing. That is the reason why it tested fine when you took it to Sears. You have to test it at the right time to find the problem.
