The engine will not start after a short drive after being parked while shopping. After a period of time 30 to 60 minutes the car will start an runs as normal, It has the symptoms of no fuel. I have replace the fuel filter after the second problem but then it occurred the third time

If I understand your reply to my original question was check the relays. The only relay I am aware of is the relay for the fuel pump that has a reset in the trunk. How would that relay be intermittent?

The relay box under hood
what you have in the trunk is the Intertia switch this is ON or OFF
when it fail to start open hood and check for spark, check for fuel

Your answer does not make any sense. Switch in truck will not reset itself. Fuel is adequate showing 3/4 full and there is spark.
