Thank you for the suggestion, but,,, Each time I cycle the key, I can hear the fuel Pump engage. This 'acts' a little like the old car Vapor lock

It is a 5.0 v8 They said the pressure was good, but I see a sufficiently rusty fuel filter, maybe pressure drops under flow due to fuel filter?? When the no-start condition occurred today i had fuel at the rail, but had no way of testing the pressure at that moment
