Hhhmm.... did it crank over at it's normal speed? That seems really strange.... Wonder if the PCM is annoyed about something, and it just isn't telling you.

HeyYou, it was definitely cranking at it's normal speed. It was cranking very strongly, it just wouldn't start. This morning, it started up just fine again. What is the PCM? Perhaps I need to check into that.

Need to see what's missing when it won't start. The fact that it cranks normally, but won't start, and then starts right up after resetting the PCM, (disconnecting the battery) kinda makes me wonder......

I've been having the same issue since I got my truck in September. Loooong cranking before start unless recently ran. Almost as if loosing pressure. Passes pressure test, I've taken off the entire intake and throttle body and cleaned, replaced MAP sensor and fuel pump still same issue. Let me know what you find out.
