Two thoughts, first, because it will/won't/will start, perhaps the ignition switch needs replacing, do all the dash lights come on when you turn the key and it wont' start? If not, R/R ignition. There's been reports of ignition switches going bad.
Does it turn over but not start; or go click-click-click and not start; or just plain old nothing?
Second thought, alternator is going bad, you need to check if the alternator is throwing a charge into the battery, I don't know exactly how but others can describe the procedure. Could be the valve cover gaskets have been leaking oil into the alternator and it finally gave out, that's what happened to me one time.
Good luck, not many of us V6'ers left...
Mike
