I'd start with installing a new Ford or IH ICP sensor, if the old one has oil coming up thru the connector. If the harness is wet with oil blow it clean with contact cleaner or brake cleaner. Inspect the wires carefully. At this age they've probably been yanked on a few times. Same with EBP harness, get a good look at the wires. Then get the EBP sensor off (Use two wrenches so the bracket does not bend) and clean it and the tube. Typically with trimmer line chucked in a drill, search for videos. Once both are squared away the WIF light should be good.
Definitely get a way to read codes, one of the OBD setups above. I use a $12 OBD reader off amazoo and $5 Torque pro app. You can also use it to monitor say the EBP signal. The values it reports are a great way to check if that system is working.
When it's trying to run, is there smoke? Can it rev up? Does it run while cold only, then die off and not restart when hot?
Also check wire harness over driver side valve cover. Underside of it can rub on the valve cover and give intermittent shorts.
Did you drain the fuel bowl with the yellow lever? Might have a few ounces of something not diesel at the bottom.
And just cuz; oil level good?

I tried the icp unplugged and ebp plugged in and it cranks with one to two sputters but no start. I have not checked the ebp tube as i was stoked that it was running and tried working all or most of the air put of the system.
