    Do what Tnshooter suggested in post #12. It sounds like the fuel pump is running during the crank phase of starting but when you release the key the C/O relay is not getting the signal for the crank sensor to keep her running. Are signs of mouse/rats in the engine compartment?

    A blue or bluish-white spark is a strong spark.
    An orange spark is a weak spark.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I once had a FP relay crap out on me a long, long time ago.
