Need help with no start!

Hello I just bought my first OBS Ford! 97 f250 7.3L!
the truck will crank but I have no smoke coming from tailpipe and I have fuel pressure. I made sure the lines were free of air and tried to crank and still nothing! I put a new fuel pump in and notice my ipr was missing it’s top hat and nut so I replaced those and the truck still does not fire! I tried a little squirt of cocaine in a can and it fired off that but did not stay running! What could my problems be? The ipr wires in the connector are touching can that cause a no start? And it has been sitting for over 3 years.

Check for oil level.

If the IPR wires are bare and touching, yea that can be a problem.
