Ok, heres the problem......
In the morning I can go out and it will run perfect. I will drive it around, get to where I am going and turn it off. When I try to restart it, it cranks perfect but wont run. It will sit and stumble/lope for a few seconds then die. So, I checked the fuel pressure on the rail. Sometimes it will have pressure, sometimes it wont have any. Sometimes I can hear the pump come on with the key (It will start then) but sometimes it wont come on at all. I can definatly hear and feel the Auto Shut Down and the Fuel Pump relays come on, and go off. I cant find a fuse for the fuel pump, but it cant be blow because it starts every morning.

Well you have 2 possible solutions that I can think of. One possibilty is your fuel pump. An- other is sediment in the bottom of your tank, over night the sediment settles down on the bottom so it starts, after a little running around, the sediment gets all mixed up. I would say change your fuel filter and check for sediment that may have gotten caught. Other than that it sounds to me like you may be dropping the tank.
