Odd intermitant starting problem

I have a 1990 Bronco II that I bought from the original owner about 2 years ago. It had heavy front end damage and I have brought it back to life. It currently has almost 200,000 miles and is all stock. The engine hasn't had anything done to it other that a clutch and parts related to the front end damage. My problem is that on a few mornings, it doesn't start. This problem just started also. It will crank over but shows no intrest in trying to fire at all. I come home in the afternoon and it will fire right up. It does sit outside and I did replace the ignition module in hopes that was the problem. It did fix it for about two weeks and now it is doing it again. I consider myself a great parts swapper but poor in diagnosing problems. I would be greatfull for any help.

Welcome to FTE!!!

I would start by determining if you have spark at the plugs and testing the fuel pressure when it won't start.

Checking for spark was the first thing I was going to do this weekend. THat would be the first chance I had to work on it in the morning while it wasn't starting. As for the full pressure, I know there are no guarentees but I replaced the fuel pump about a year ago and I can hear it run before cranking the engine. Thanks for the help though.
