When the problem occurs, if it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure.

I had a 95 Ranger that did this and took it to a parts store and the guy popped my hood and pulled out the fuel relay under the hood in the fuse box and put in a new one and never had an issue again.Not usre this is your problem but wouldnt hurt to try.
