sounds like it might be the fuel pressure rail valve, see here :

worth getting a scan done to see what error codes come up

hope this helps,

dont know about the 2.3's but on the cossies the fule pump relay sitcks (in the aux fuse box) it's possible the 2.3 as the same setup

I had this too with that relay; it'd start ok then cut out at random. I changed it and it was fine; cheapest fix ever.

Hope it's as simple as that.

Is there clouds of blue smoke from the exhaust when you cold start it ?

Bad hot starting is a sure sign of a worn engine/ poor compression.
