97 problem

Need some guidance and advice. Fired up the f-350 sunday morning and she hit right up, idled for about a minute and died. I have about 1500 miles on the oil,air,fuel filters and repla ced the cps. Finnaly got it to start and it sounds like crap and won't pull itself. No codes came up no engine light on and when it idles it read 60 to 65 lbs fuel pressure. I was going to pull the valve covers first and check the plug ins and the harnesses. This thing ran like a dream till this. Any thoughts are appreciated.

TIA Vince

Before you pull the valve covers, just unplug each plug one at a time while it's running and see if it runs worse. If you unplug one and it stays the same you have a problem under that cover.

Check the screen to the FPR first. Much easier than dissembling the engine.
