Sometimes will start sometimes will not.

My 1995 flairside with 4.9 straight 6 some times starts and sometimes won't. When it does start it will run for 10 minutes and the next time it may run for an hour. Can anyone give me any ideas on what this might be?

Here's an excellent troubleshooting link that will guide you through a step by step process...so you're not guessing and throwing parts at it.

Great link, but I would start with a more basic question. When the no start issue occurs does the fuel pump stay on continuously when cycling the key from Off to Run?
