Check the ECC relay to see if its working, I just went through this a couple months ago with an 89 f150 5.0. The relay is located on the drivers side fender well next to the fuel pump relay.
Hope this helps.

My Bad, I knew it was for some kind of engine control.

Are you sure there is no contact at all? does it do it when it gets damp out. I wouldnt think it would run since if that relay doesnt work nothing else will work, since its at the begining of the circut.
Id go to a salvage yard and clip off a plug from another truck and replace your broken one and buy a new relay, corrosion was the culprit with mine to.

I recently replaced the EEC power relay. I bought two replacements, from my local Ford dealer and Advance, that did not work. The parts people gave me the relay indicated by their parts computer. When installed the truck would not start, Fortunately the original relay still worked and would alow the engine to start when reinstalled. On my third trip an experienced man at Advance suggested a Sorensen MR12 universal relay. It worked and is still working.
