f15 wont start

Truck started to stall. Pulled over and it would start idle a little then die. After a few minutes it would not start at all. I have 40 psi on the fuel rail, new plugs, have spark and pulse. It will idle if i spray starting fluid in the intake. Any suggestions would be great. thanks

Will it start/idle if you put your foot on the gas pedal just a little bit? I'm leaning in the direction of a faulty IAC.

You should clean your iacv and try the airpedal all the way to the floor. I don't think that is the issue though . The OP said it will idle if he uses starter fluid which means it is prob not an Air issue. IMHO
