I have a 1989 F-250 that has 84000 miles on it. When you start it in the morning it will start right up like it is always has and you drive it 15 t0 20 miles and shut it off it will fire right back up but let it set a hour it fails to start . Than you leave it set 4 to 5 hours it starts like it suppose to again . Any sugestion on what it might be . Thanks for any help in advance

thanks again

I had that problem and I actually changed the pump and for some reason it still did it but after about 2 days of that it started to act normal again.
