Hello everyone,
Since we are in the winter, my truck had this issue twice. It started then shutdown after 1 or 2 seconds, but when I start it again, it ran fine. I have gas in my fuel tank and didn't let it go below the last quarter of the tank as much as possible. The times were it was below quarter is very few and was no gas station around.
Check your fuel pump. It sounds like it might not be priming properly on first start.
It's weird because in warm or hot day, it starts without this issue. Only it twice when it was very cold weather.
Yeah seems like an electrical thing, probably the fuel pump.
Really tough to say without more data. Could be a bunch of things. I would start by checking the fuel pressure and fuel trims.
I had a Ford Explorer several years ago that wouldn't hold fuel pressure after turning it off. Did similar things. It was likely due to a tiny pinhole leak in the lines I think, since everything else checked out. I never bothered to fix it since it wasn't worth it.

This is clearly a fuels system problem. You cannot allow a fuel injected car with the pump in the tank to get low on fuel, not ever.
