Is there a reset button for the fuel
If you prime it and it runs till the prime is gone I would think it has something to do with fuel. The fuel pump could run but not put out enough pressure. I had a 88 blazer I was able to hook up a fuel pressure gauge by the left rear tire and found low pressure. I fixed the car when I changed the fuel pump. It could also be a fuel pump fuse or relay. If the pump is running it may rule out fuse or relay. Here are a bunch of video which has a good bit of info. Some of it may help. If you think it is a relay you may be able to swap relays with something else, if they are the same relay. Make sure what you swap with is not a vital part. I have found something like swap fuel with AC relay something like that. I actually went to a junk yard and found several relay for a dollar each one time. At that time I did not know anything about how to check them. They may not be a dollar now. Hope this helps

NO the problem most likely is your carb. draining down or accelerator pump not working.

I would check to be on the safe side the fuel filter is going in the right direction. The arrow is pointing towards the engine away from the fuel tank, Then you need to make sure the fuel pump wiring connections are good contact and did not come loose when driving.

Sounds to me like either your pressure regulator is bad or you have a loose fitting somewhere in the fuel line from the fuel pump to the engine. When you turn your key to the on position, you should hear the whine of the fuel pump until it builds pressure. When you shut the truck off the pressure regulator should retain the pressure for a certain amount of time but if it don't close then air is allowed into the fuel line and the fuel drains down to fuel line away from the engine. Next time you try and start the truck after it has sat for a while try turning the key on until you hear the fuel pump whine shut off, then repeat it 3-5 times and then try to start it. Basically that is running the pump enough to get the fuel back up to the injectors. Check for loose fittings in the fuel line, or cracks in the fuel line and if all that is fine then replace the regulator.
Hope that helps
Testimonial: "sounds like a good idea i will try that THANKS!!!"
SOURCE: truck won't start, can't hear either fuel pump 1992 Ford F 150 5.
If you can't hear the fuel pump when you turn the key to the on position trying to build up fuel pressure, it is most likely either a voltage issue at the fuel pump or you need to replace the fuel pump. Have you checked your fuel filter? Try turning on the key without engaging the starter and see if you hear the whine of the fuel pump.
Good Luck
Reseting the fuel pump kill switch.
Before you reset the fuel pump, make sure to read all of the following instructions!!!!!
1.) Look for an access panel in the trunk, driver's side; it might even be labeled "Fuel Pump Reset".
2.) Open the compartment and press the red button. This should reset the pump.
3.) At this point it might be a good idea to "burp" the fuel tank. This will probably be the easiest thing you do all day! Just pop the cover and unscrew the gas cap, this will release any preasure built up inside the tank. As long as you're in a controled environment, go ahead and leave the cap open until you finish "Step 4". Otherwise "burp" it a couple of times while you're priming the lines.
4.) The next step is to prime the pump. In other words, make sure there is enough gas in the fuel lines to start the car. The easiest way to do this is by turning the key back and forth from the "OFF" to the "ON" position. *** Be sure not to turn all the way to the "START" position until you have performed "Step 4", at least 3 or 4 times. If you attempt to start the car before the fuel pump is properly primed, you will run a serious risk of burning out the pump. This could lead to even more costly repairs!!!
5.) Replace the gas cap before attempting ignition.
6.) Once you have reset the pump, burped the tank, primed the fuel lines, and replaced the gas cap; you should be all set! Go ahead and give it a crank, good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
