I started
I started a thread here a couple of weeks ago about a 88 F-250 I couldnt get running.
I cant find it anywhere which is strange?
A couple of guys told me to switch out the computer which I did.
Still doesnt start.

It starts right up when you pour gas in the throttle body.
It will keep running if you pump the gas pedal but as soon as you stop pumping it quits.
Fuel filters have been changed and I tryed a diffrent computer in it.
As far as that other thread it was called "Reset" and I cant find it.
Thats really strange.

Well Ive looked at every thread in this forum and I cant find my thread on where the fuel reset is?
Somethings funny , there was nothing in that thread to make it deletable?
This is the only Ford specific forum I go to so it wasnt somewhere else.
I had a couple of guys tell me where the reset button was.

Quit pumping and it quits.

Ive got a thread going right now about leaking fuel injectors that isnt listed in my threads started either. something funkys going on.
As far as your problem goes, let me make sure ive got this.. start the truck by spraying gas down the TB, and then to keep it running, you need to keep your foot on the throttle... do you have to "pump" the pedal to keep it running, or will it run with the pedal kept at a certain position?

i don't see where pumping the pedal will make any difference, because with fuel injection there is no accelerator pump.
all the throttle does is controls the amount of air going into the engine. it has nothing to do with the amount of gas going in.

What happens if you floor the pedal? Odd problems like this make me think vacuum leak. I would check all of your vacuum hoses that you can, make sure none are visibly broken, cracked, or disconnected. You also need to pull codes from the computer. I wouldnt think it is the fuel pump relay personally, if you can hear the fuel pump running when you stick the key to the start position, and if you can hear it running steadily while the truck runs...I wouldnt think fuel pump relay. But, you can swap it with the horn relay in the power distribution box and see if theres any change.

I put a code reader (Cheap one) on it and it doesnt read any codes.
Fuel pumps working.
