[I have an 87 5000cstq that has a randomly selective non-starting
problem...Joe]

Almost sounds like the ignition switch problem that I just resolved. 
 Switch was cranking the engine but sometimes not providing + to track 
15(IGN etc.).  The problem was intermittant, mostly happening after the car 
was warm - guess the switch heated up, but I thought it was a fuel pressure 
problem.   I had been looking for problems everywhere else.

I bypassed the switch Saturday, until I was able to source and replace the 
switch yesterday.  I have not had any problem since, despite my attempts to 
recreate it.  (knocking on wood)
