when you turn key on fuel pump should run about 15 seconds to build pressure
does it do that?
when you open fuel drain on filter with key on do you have a good flow of fuel
how are the batteries?

The batteries are new and the fuel pump is mechanical or at least that is what I have found by talking to people and calling the parts guy

you may get some better answers here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum170/ as your e-350 being a '98 may be more like the OBS Trucks

I would hold off on the starting fluid. Best way to kill a 7.3. Use something like WD-40 instead.
