1994 Barn find

A 94 f150 reg cab long bed 5.0 auto trans, 69,000 miles. woohoo
Now the problem. Sat 3 yrs full of gas. Had to take care of that issue to get I started. Now its running. Rough/missing. 65 mph downhill with a tailwind and not running on all cylinders. Considering the gas I figure there are some plugged up injectors. Possible? Pulled plugs and looks like it might have been running on 4 cylinders and put 8 new ones in. Still thinking injectors so ordered new ones. After I changed plugs I started it and it ran fairly smooth. CEL comes on. Found fuel regulator vac line off. Plug it back in and starts running like it did when I brought it home. Somewhat smoother but still rough and spitting out the intake. So it must be running rich I'm thinking. Should I be looking at the fuel regulator or keep going with the plugged injector idea?

My 1990 garage queen has original plug wires. Newer cap, rotor and plugs but the wires are shot. Never overlook the obvious.

There is always the possibility it was parked running that way.

New plugs and injectors and runs fine.
Now when I switch to the front tank it runs out of fuel. It'll run for a short time. Has fuel. Its full. I put it in there. Pump is running. Must have some sort of blockage.
Any ideas were to look?

Did you by chance empty it out to see what it caught?

(edit) Have codes been run?

Does pump run 1-2 seconds, then shut down when key is turned to run, but not not started or runs continuously?
