Intermittent starting problem.

Intermittent starting problem.
My cousin called me today with a problem. I'll give as such vehicle info as possible.
2001 F250, 7.3L, Auto, 2WD, Ext. cab, Lariat, approx. 115k. To my knowledge (and his) there is no tuner/chip on the truck, although I have seen a very small puff of black smoke when it downshifts.
He went out to start it to go to work and it wouldn't start. The starter turns he engine over fine, the tach is moving, but he said he couldn't see white smoke. While cracking, it sounds as if a relay is clicking furiously under the dash. After trying to start it several times, the clicking stopped and the truck started fine. It may not do it for several days, but seems to happen every couple of days. Any ideas?

Had him lift one of the control leads off the GPR so it wouldn't operate. Truck started right up.
