Years ago my son had a similar problem thinking it was the fuel pump. He needed a truck for his job so he just bought another truck. After a year sitting, I had it towed to my house but before dropping the tank, I decided to replace the relay and Wa-La, the truck started right up. Just supporting JWA's suggestion.

These sorts of needless repairs can often be avoided IF the proper diagnostic procedures are performed BEFORE expensive parts are purchased and installed without knowing whether they've really failed or not. Sadly simply things like associated relays, fuses, connectors or wiring issues are the cause of many electrical issues.
IMHO too many "newbies" wade in without knowing what they're doing, spend money unnecessarily and only after exhausting their patience and/or bank account seek help. I get having a sense of independence and making an attempt to repair something but there should come a time knowing when and where to seek help is very valuable.
I've long time advocated to anyone DIY-ing a vehicle especially a Ford obtain an EVTM or wiring diagrams book, learn how to use it and employ it when something like fuel supplies issues arise. Sadly that's advice rarely heeded. 2004 E-Series EVTM That one is very fairly priced, well less than most parts already replaced I'm sure----grab it or not.
