i recently had the same problem with my 2004 mercury sable. i actually had to keep my car on at all times except once i made it home because i was too afraid to turn it off or else it would not start back up. one shop told me it was the starter, another said the ignition, another says the air mass flow sensor. of course i did not spend the money to replace those items cause it didnt seem to match the problem. i took it to one last shop before finally throwing in the towel they recommended that i take it to auto zone to have the battery, alternator, and otc's checked. i did and turns out the battery was bad. once i replaced the battery i had no other problem with starting the car.i recently had the same problem with my 2004 mercury sable. i actually had to keep my car on at all times except once i made it home because i was too afraid to turn it off or else it would not start back up. one shop told me it was the starter, another said the ignition, another says the air mass flow sensor. of course i did not spend the money to replace those items cause it didnt seem to match the problem. i took it to one last shop before finally throwing in the towel they recommended that i take it to auto zone to have the battery, alternator, and otc's checked. i did and turns out the battery was bad. once i replaced the battery i had no other problem with starting the car.

You are right that it could be either component, or something else electrical. The security system will kill the fuel system if the wrong key is used or the system is acting up. A mechanic would check base fuel pressure with a gauge and also see if the pump is getting power from the relay when it fails to start.
The likely cause of this is a defective electric fuel pump, to verify buy a can of spray starting fluid at the parts store, next time it won't start remove the air hose to the engine and spray the starting fluid in, if it starts you will need to replace the fuel pump. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank, about a 3 hour job to replace.
try running a wire from the + on the battery to the small electrical connector on the solonoid on the starter motor ,turn ign on then use wire to crank engine ,if it cranks but will not start then dealer only in case its the immobilisor
I have this same exact problem in my 2004 Mercury Sable. It seems that it causes scrapping noise in my engine though aswell. I have had it for a few months and I fix it but turning the car off after a minute or two and just restarting it. That seems to fix it but it's progressivly gotten worse.
