Well, that was interesting.

Today I tried to start the truck and it wouldn't start. So, I got my fuel pressure gauge out and when I connected the first fitting to the rail, gas came out. I hooked up the gauge and turned on the ignitiion and it read 35 psig. Then I turned the key to start and it fired up and ran normally. So, it appears the problem is not a bad fuel pump, but I'm not positive about that yet. I drove to the bank and cut it off and it restarted. I drove it to a store and cut it off and it restarted. Intermittent problems are tormenting. Ideas are appreciated!

There aren't any trouble codes. Wouldn't it throw a code if a sensor wasn't working?
Thanks!

I've paid one tow charge so far. So, waiting has its cost risks too. On a 16 year old truck with 148k miles on it, some new sensors/parts may be deserved.

Surprised you don't have AAA or have it included with your insurance.
I've got AAA, my insurance, and my Ford warranty... I've never had to pay for tows. It was very handy when I was moving my mistake of buying '02 Dodge Diesel around... I even use it for my friends if they are in a bind.

The truck has started fine many times since the last start failure and has run fine.
Actually there was a code that I didn't pay enough attention to.
P1000
Potential causes of a P1000 include: The battery or PCM has been disconnected (Ford, Mazda, Jaguar) The diagnostic trouble codes have been cleared (Ford, Mazda, Jaguar) An OBD monitor concern occured before completion of the drive cycle (Ford)

The PCM has been disconnected made me think it might be the PCM relay. So, the first pellet of the shotgun blast was that I installed a new PCM relay. I'll continue to drive it and will see if the start failure happens again.
