    Do you have fuel pressure? There is a schrader valve on the fuel rail. The fuel rail sits on top of the injectors. Push the valve to see if you have a good amount of pressure. If you don't replace the fuel pump and fuel filter. If you have fuel pressure then you need to see if you have a spark.

Well just because the fuel pump runs that does not mean the fuel injectors are delivering fuel to the engine. Do an injector pulse test with a 12 volt test light.

Follow standard no-start troubleshooting procedures. Check fuel pressure and check for spark, etc.

SOURCE: Fuel Pump Relay

Obviously, you can jump the relay but it is dangerous on an extended basis. You'd have pressure in the lines when you don't want it there. Replace the relay if it is defective.

If you have other issues, you can check the pump back to the tank by going on the business end of the relay and looking for resistance at the pump to ground. If it is open, the pump or the harness is bad...GMs have harness issues...not Fords.

SOURCE: truck stalls

have you replace the crank sensor? or cranshaft sensor?
if not do it, but before you do that make sure to have the truck inspect for a posible aftermarket alarm installed if it does have it remove and drive it for a few days,
and please after trying leave ranking or feedback for me, thanx and good luck

SOURCE: 1996 CADILLAC DEVILLE, NO POWER TO FUEL PUMP

Check for a burned fusible link under the hood. If you have power at the fuel pump relay, you could have a bad ignition switch or bad oil pressure switch...accordianman

SOURCE: Got a PO118 code for my 1996 ford Econo 150 van.

I work for Ford and have never seen this code, but the sensor must be on the fuel rail on the top of the engine, vans have a hot stall/hessitation issue from vapor lock, maybe this is part of the fix.

Dies suddenly while driving

You'll need to figure out if it is lacking fuel or spark to proceed with testing. I carry a can of starting fluid and a spark plug tester to use when the engine fails to start.

1996 f-150 4wd 6cyl. crank sensor problems

Most of the time this means low fuel pressure,check the fuel filter to see if it is stopped up,if so,replace it,if not,then have the fuel pressure checked to rule out fuel pump.

I have a 1983 ford f-150 300 straight six ...It

Check to see if there's a vacuum leak at the base gasket. Let it idle and spray a little carburetor cleaner around the base. If the idle goes up, the spray is sealing the leak momentarily. If it's getting too much air, it's the same as not getting enough fuel.

1996 f 150 is not cranking. It is turning over but there is no fuel getting to the engine. I have replaced everything.

3 easy and quick steps first, check fuel pump, fuel regulator,and distributor module, and also the internal distributor , should have blades that pass module for fuel injectors and or pump.

96 ford f-150 reg cab 302 motor

One place to start,  Spark to ignition and power fuel are two different sources.  Unless they both work off the same fuse.  The fuel pump needs power to run the fuel pump, Ignition needs spark to fire the engine. Check your fuses because in my opinion it is odd that they both went out at same time.  Good Luck
