[QUOTE="Brian Wolf, post: 990090, member: 62545"] Here is something else simple to check before spending any dough. Pop the hood. On the passenger side firewall, there is a long connector, with a bolt in the middle. That goes to the trucks computer. Make sure it's tight! I had an issue just like described on my 2002 ST, one day, it just wouldn't start, then eventually it ran for a while, then left me standed, not starting. Then after messing around with it for a while, it ran again... slowly getting worse... Once it even stalled out while driving on the interstate. I swore it was the fuel pump, because I noticed, when it wouldn't run, when i clicked the key forward before starting, I didn't hear the pump hum like usual. After messing around under the hood one time, and had the key on, I noticed that connector was loose, I tightened it, and haven't had the problem again, and that was about 100K ago. Hope its something simple. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
