89 F150 wont start

My 89f150 4X4 5.0 has been stalling after driving for 2-3 mins. It feels that it runs out of gas then turn the key a few times and it starts and runs fine. Then one morning it wouldn't start at all. I put a new pump in the tank a month ago. I replaced the HP pump and it ran fine then next morning wouldn't start again, not to sure where to go next???

I have that exact truck, and actually had that same problem. My solution was a bad TPS (throttle position sensor). It would start good in the morning because it had time to lose the code. But once i got driving it would try to die on my if i let my RPMs drop. And if it did die, it took a little while to get it rolling again. The TPS is under your throttle body. Its a black little device with two wires that i think are green and red (orange?) Its pretty easy to change out.
hopefully that fixes it.
