'99 Expedition won't start

Wife's '99 Expedition (5.4 V8) won't start. Turned over last night but wouldn't fire. Started fine this morning. Drove around, filled up with gas, drove home. Tried to restart about an hour later, once again it turns over but doesn't fire. I noticed the THEFT light blinks fast when I try to start, I don't remember it blinking like this. I checked the fuel cut-off swith and it was fine. I can't hear the fuel pump, but I'm not sure if this is normal. I taped on all of the relays, but I don't know which one is for the fuel pump since I don't have an owner's manuel. Any help will be greatly appreciated

It sounds as if you have a problem with the anti-theft system. Have you tried another encoded key to see if it would start?

You might want to get another one made at your dealer. They ain't cheap though!!
Glad to help,
