Puzzled
I have a E350 Ford V10 It starts and runs great
I drive for a while stop for gas let’s say turn it off and when I go to start everything comes on but it won’t start I let it sit for 10 min or so and it fired right up?
WTH? Any ideas I’m thinking maybe solenoid.

How about a little help here?
When you state it won't start, Just what does it do?
Does it sound like the starter is cranking the engine over and it just will not start running?
OR<<<< when you go to start the engine , nothing happens?
Watch the check engine light, When it starts,the lite goes out while cranking right? What does the light do when you attempt to start it and it will not start?

At this point , there are at least two possibilities, one could be a security system problem, and the other could be a poor connection with battery cables , or where the cables connect to the vehicle.For starters,
it would be a good move to assure the cable connections are clean and tight. Just looking at them does nothing, they need to be removed/disconnected cleaned, and reinstalled. Then that will take that possibility out of the picture.
Removing the battery cables from the battery creates another problem. All the adaptive memory in the vehicle's computer gets erased and has to be relearned. Things like radio stations , memory seats shifting etc.The way to prevent this is to have an external voltage supply connected to the system while the cables are carefully removed one at a time cleaned and replaced. Not difficult , but might want to leave this to an experienced shop.
You should have a second key to start the vehicle. When it won't start , try the second key.
