Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't

I have a 2000 F250 V10, with 35,000 miles. Sometimes it starts first thing in the morning, sometimes not. It always cranks over but it does not always start? When it won't start, it won't start. I can crank it over until the battery goes dead and it just won't start. The next day I can go out and it fires right up? When it does start if fires right up and runs very well. I can turn it off and then start it repeatedly with no problems. I think I may have a loose wire somewhere or maybe a bad coil?
Anyone else have or hear of a similiar problem.
Thanks.

Have you ever tried pushing down on the gas pedal an inch and see if it starts?

If it does, it's the IAC.
