Unhappy starting issue

hi there and thanks for any help you can give--2004 f150 with a 4.6l --- just changed the fuel pump, plugs, injector and coil packs and i now have an issue that i cannot resolve, here goes--- so in the morning i can start it just fine and drive it--but after shutting it off it doesn't always want to start back up( i can shoot it with ether and it starts and runs fine) or if i wait 1-2 hrs. it will start back up and run fine .
there are no codes and the snapon test computer shows nothing wrong---any clues would be helpful---thanks

Sounds like a "closed loop" problem. That's when the PCM starts using various sensors to moderate the air/fuel mixture. If your OBD tool reads sensors, check the 02, temp, and fuel pressure sensors as well as fuel trims. Show us and we may be able to help.

Have you checked the condition of your Fuel Pump Driver Module?
