This car has 4.6l v8. The car can sit overnight and the next morning it will not start. The engine will turn over and over and over. No fuel smells. Go back a few hours later car will start just fine and will for days. Then it will do it again. Doesnt matter if it just rained or if weather hot or cold. I replaced fuel filter with no luck. It does not throw any codes. Where do I Go from here.

Next time it wont start check for fuel pressure and spark.

Also next time it wont start I would try disconnecting the DPFE sensor and trying to start. If vehicle fires up the DPFE sensor is bad. They have a history with going out.
