Default Trouble starting and now won't start!

Hello, 06 GT 29k miles.

The car turns over fine but just wont start....

For the last few weeks I have had to try to start it a few times....turn over...nother try again an it goes...

Today no go...

What gives?

I had it towed to ford they said nothings wrong...it started for them....

This is the 3rd time...I can't rely on it.

sorry to hear it svt93style, it
could be as simple as a sensor
or it could be ignition or fuel
system related.

it's tough to troubleshoot these kinds
of problems at home, without certain
meters and/or gauges.

No tune, bone stock.

And there are no codes....dealer can't figure it out...seems to be starting fine for them.

This morning is cold though in Dallas, so hopefully they try today and it won't start but knowing my luck it will be fine.

Has the fuel filter been changed? There are to many things that can cause a no start condition. It could be something as simple as a clogged fuel filter or loose ground wire. It could be a couple of the COP's are starting to go or clogged injectors.

Did you recently do anything to the engine? Use any fuel injector cleaner or octane booster?

I have done the fuel filter twice both at 10k-12k mile intervals. No engine work or cleaners...

I believe this issue was caused by my leak issue.
