Intermittent no start - no codes

Warm start...
Cranked fast, fired for a sec & died. repeat. Cranked fast, no fire, repeat.
Did that for a while...
No codes. Then it started, ran fine all weekend.

Any ideas?

I'll move this to the V10 forum, but next time it happens, try this:

-While cranking, step on the gas, if it starts and revs it's the idle air controller.

-You may also check your fuel pressure while cranking as your fuel pump may be on it's way out.

Thanks Tor !

I did do this, no luck:
-While cranking, step on the gas, if it starts and revs it's the idle air controller.
I floored it, maybe that's wrong?

Push the pedal down about one inch, not floored.

Sounds like the fuel pump or pump relay is going though.

Next time it happens and if pushing the go-pedal doesn't help, whack the gas tank with a 2x4. Not very hard, just enough to make it wiggle If it starts up, the fuel pump needs to be replaced.
