Unhappy Will not start now

Started having problems with hard to start...Rough idle after starting...driving around, stopping at lights, no problem..turn engin off..restart..rough idle.
Took to shop.. would not work on it untill i bypassed my super chip..They told it needed to be reflashed..I find it hard belive that it is a program problem. I was going to take to deisel shop where they installed the chip to have removed the next day...and now it will not start ...want's to but won't
2003 6.0 60,000 miles..Someone told me it was some kind of check valve or something like that..Those guys at my ford dealer scare me allready..
HELP.....

I recently had a similar problem. It only ran rough for a few miles after a cold start and was also slow to start. Problem turned out to be the electric fuel pump.
