I know it is not getting gas, because the plugs are dry, and i am getting spark.  Then if I wait 20 minutes or so it starts fine.  Normally I can start with just 2-3 cranks.  This ones a real puzzeler.  TIA Luke '865kcstq

fuel pump realys have been implicated in this - cracked traces inside,
etc.  try a known good one (or a cold one?) (or jumping the two large
slots for the FPR with a fused 12 gauge or larger wire) sometime when
you have the problem to test the theory.
