Hey fellows, question for the 7.3 buffs.

Buddy of mine has a 94 ford 3500 with a 7.3 in it, the problem he is having is this.
when cold he has instant start, let it warm up and drive it for any lengt of time, shut it down and restart right after it will fire right away.leave it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, and it won't fire no more, he has to wait at least 4 hrs,then it fires up right away again.
He says it seems like no fuel to injectors, no smoke from exhaust either in the no start mode.
Could it be fuel shut down solenoid acting up?
I cant have a look myself cause he lives to far away.

Any suggestions anyone?

1) Encourage him to buy a Duramax. :D
2) Sounds like lack of fuel. Lift pump? Injection Pump? Fuel filter?
