it will crank and crank and not start but it ends up always starting?
What is your question?
this Grand Marquis has been doing this for probably two months sometimes it'll strand my wife for 10 maybe 15 minutes and it'll just crank over and not start. Sometimes or most of the time it'll just fire right up no problem I've never seen a fuel pump take so long to go south,
do you have any other ideas about what
component may be going bad?
Codes I found after scanning were P0004 ,P0005, P0006.

I have the same problem with 1996 Grand Marquis. Starts fine hot or cold, but if I go for a 15 minute drive and let it sit for 20 to 60 minutes, often it will not start until it cools down. It helps to open the hood and let it sit. Have changed the fuel pump and crank sensor. Lately, I have been pulling the yellow 20 amp fuse for the fuel pump from the box next to the battery. It seems to help, but it is too early to tell. None of my mechanic friends have seen it before. Annoying mystery. I leave the car running if I can't risk a delay when running errands. Still a good car. Has 193,000 miles and still strong. Never mind, that wasn't it. On to plan K.
