Default Starts...Sometimes. HELP!!!

I have a 2001 trans am LS1 45,xxx miles. There has been no recent work done to it and for some reason it wont start all of the time. It cranks but no fire, I checked the fuel pressure and it is good, the fuel filter is fairly new. When it does start it runs fine. plugs are releatively new 1.5 years. Very odd anyone have similiar experience.

so still no luck with this, i have tried swapping fuel pump relays, and ignition relays...Would a bad relay cause an intermittent problem? It seems like when i fool around with the relays it starts right up. Not sure there is any connection but it is odd.
