Guys this is a Ford F-150 problem
Was running fine, parked it and it will not start. Srayed some engine start into the engine and it started.
I replaced the fuel pump, then installed a new computer and it Still will Not run.
I value your Knowledge. What do you think is the problem? Also ran a small computer diagram it showed no problem?
Any ideas what could be the problem?

I am not a Ford guy, that being said...
You generally check injectors with a noid lite, available from harbor freight, or a parts store. Disconnect an injector, plug in the lite, crank engine, and it should light up when injector fires. If not, I would look at something like crank sensor operation. You got a new fuel pump, is it electric? Is it pumping?
The thing about computerized cars, they can quit whenever they want for no apparent reason

Does it have both in-tank and a frame rail pump? If the in-tank pump is dead you'll get little to zero fuel to the high pressure pump on the frame rail.

What you needed were the codes from the first computer, since the new one hasn't been able to "see" it running. But try pulling from the new one. Pull up a Ford troubleshooting chart and get a digital volt/ohm meter. If you just throw parts on, you may waste a lot of time and money, plus, some discount new parts can even be bad when you bring them home - complicating things.

I will pull up the Ford troubleshooting chart and use a digital volt/ohm meter try. Thanks

Now the OP knows why Ford stands for
Found On Road Dead
Fix Or Repair Daily
and of course the classic
F**king Old Rotten Dog
To the OP........sorry but just could not pass it up.
Good luck with getting your truck back up and running.
Ford always made good trucks at least.

I found the problem it is because the truck is too modern. The chip in the key went out and would not start the truck. Since I tried it too many times I had to replace the ignition and that was that. The fuel pump needed replacing and now the truck is good to go.
Thanks for the help and sorry to ask questions on a non corvette vehicle.
