Rick,
If there are no stored trouble codes, then the ECM is losing it's memory
when the car is off... Sounds like a bad ground, or maybe the direct
battery wire has a bad section.  I've seen them corrode inside the
insulation from the battery acid and come apart... you don't know it until
you pull on it and it pulls apart.  Should be an orange wire going straight
to the battery.
Later,
Dave
