I've got a 2001 extra cab 4 wheel drive with the 5.4 v-8....
Seems to be running fine. But, sometimes lately after i drive a while and then park to go into a store or something, I come out, and it just turns over and doesn't start.
I've had it do it on three occasions now and seems like it may be getting worse!..
The first two times after the truck sat maybe for 20 or 30 minutes, It started right back up!..
The Third time, I probably waited about 10 or 15 minutes..

Thanks in Advance!!

How hot out was it when this happened because it sounds a lot like the truck was vapor locking

It was only about 68 degrees!

I'm currently having the same symptoms as you from lack of residual fuel pressure after shutting the engine off but it will start if it's cranked long enough, 4-5 seconds or so.

Most likely the pump is getting week

Mine won't restart after a long crank...Just after it sits a while...could be fuel pump I suppose...but, runs perfect when driving and Not dieing out!

what type of driving were you doing before it happened?

shovel80

Just casual driving...speed limits...and to a store twice..and too the gas station once...The gas station was the worst!...stopped behind a woman who was filling her car. I shut off the truck..then when she moved, my truck wouldn't start..It took 3 men to push this Heavy son of a gun up a very small incline too the pump...put in some gas..and then it didn't start still...but, after maybe ten minutes..it finally did!

When you tried to start the truck how easily was it turning over?

shovel80

The engine was turning over normally!...Battery is Good!
I went ahead and changed the Fuel Filter today, Seems ok so far!?....Still don't trust it yet!
Will get back with the outcome!!

Thanks, Terry
