Won't start after sitting for a few days.

Cranks fine, but acts like not getting any gas. Sometimes it will catch after trying over and over. Sometimes not, and will have to resort to starting fluid. Once starts, it's fine the rest of the day. So I don't think its the pump or filter. Considered the TIPM, but wouldn't that also affect it running fine later? Showing no codes at auto parts store and the dealership. Left it at the dealership for a week, and of course they couldn't duplicate the problem. Appreciate any input. I love my truck, Long beds are hard to find these days. But I need it to start!

Starting only with starting fluid indicates its fuel related.

try cycling the ignition on without starting the engine once or twice before actually starting the truck. The problem is most likely fuel system related.

And dont hold the accelerator down all the way. It shuts off the injectors. Try halfway down
