NO FUEL, NO START
Totally stumped on this one (92 F-150 5.8) I was having intermittent starting issues, where if the truck would start right up, when i shut it off it would not start unless i shot some gogo juice in the air intake then it ran perfect while running, asked around and fuel pump seemed to be the culprit, put a new one in and before i bolted the skid shield back on , i tried it and it started up instantly, hooray!! bolted the rest of it together and now it won't start at all. Next I replaced the fuel pressure regulator....still nothing.
Anybody have any ideas, any help is greatly appreciated Thank You and..Merry Christmas!!

Have you checked for spark?
Just because the pump is new does not mean it is good. Have you checked the fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge?
Does the fuel pump kick on for a few seconds when you cycle the key from Off to Run?
Does the truck have dual tanks? If so, does this happen on both tanks?

Went out and rented a fuel pressure gauge, but while i was in the parts place, i picked up a filter for piece of mind, installed that and the truck started right up, and would keep starting. I thought problem was cured so i brought back the gauge. So here is the issue, when I let the truck sit for a while it is a bitch to start, takes forever, but once it starts it will keep starting unless it sits for a while, like it loses pressure.
So...........Any ideas??
the new pump runs for about 3 seconds prior to trying to start, it has dual tanks, but i don't use the rear one (leaks), has spark

NO FUEL NO START FIXED
JUST AN UPDATE, AFTER CHANGING THE FUEL PUMP, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, FUEL FILTER, AND TIGHTENING THE LUG NUTS 
, IT TURNED OUT IT WAS THE TFI MODULE, THE EASIEST ALMOST CHEAPEST PART OF THE WHOLE ORDEAL. GOOD FOR ANOTHER 50K MILES!!
