i'm stumped

My truck relays went bad so i spliced in new ones and i know i have all the wires right. i charged my battery after it had been dead for 2 weeks and went to start my truck hooray it started. It's been driving like a dream nice and smooth but i was in my back yard sweeping debri out of the back and it just died not stumble at all just died. so i tried to start it back up and it was smoking.i found that it was smoking out of the oil tube that comes off the valve cover to the air box? why would it do this? then i tried it when the engine had cooled down and it started right up i made it like 20 miles and it just cut out of fuel, i mean nothing it acted exactly like it was out of gas so i rolled it around the street in nuetral and came back later that night to start it figuring it was cooled down and it still wouldn't start. i have no idea what is wrong. i was thinking my fuel pump is going out or something?
