    Intermittent problem when starting in morning starts up immediately dies have to wait 5 min then starts right up and runs perfect for a few more weeks. Replaced fuel pump thought that might be it but did it again also replaced battery in key fob dealer won’t say anything till it’s dead I’m at a loss

    If it immediately dies right after you turn it on. It's more than likely the battery. When I went through all my batteries, this was a common occurance. If it's something additional than just this. You may have to go down the path of testing the starter, via the relay. At 180k it may be more of a battery / starter issue.
