1997 4.0 4x4 ranger fuel problems

[mattfleming75]

a buddy of mine has a 1997 4.0 4x4 ranger and when the truck is up to operating temp say a trip to the store and he shuts it off when he goes to start it back up it wont run. it gets air in the fuel rail . after we bleed the air out from the check valve on the fuel rail it runs again . we have replaced fuel pump three times and new fuel lines . how could it be getting air in the fuel lines after running it?

Take it to Autozone and they'll pull codes for free. That might help with a diagnosis. It may be cooincidental
