Starting problem 2003 XLT Expy

2003 XLT 4.6L with 62000 miles. in the morning after sitting all night, the engine will start immediately and run perfect. If I drive the Expy and then park it for several minutes or longer, I can crank the engine for 2 to 5 seconds and it won't start. but if I crank it for the 2 to 5 seconds, turn the key all the way off and then restart it, it starts immedialely. I replaced the fuel filter, added Heet to clear out any water in the tank, cleaned the MAF, IAC and Throttle Body. It idles and runs perfect once started. any suggestions on where to look?

Is there spark when this happens?
What is the fuel pressure when it won't start?
