Sounds like it's not getting gas to the engine. i'm trusting there is gas in the tank. you are probably right about the pump.

just because the pump motor is running doesn't mean its pumping check the pressure. think that one is about 16 psi

Just before car broke down acted like it was starving for fuel. changed fuel filter,made sure fuel pump was coming on, made sure had fire still wont start what do you think

My best guess is the fuel pump. Even thogh the fuel pump is comming on it might not be putting out enough pressure. Spray some carb cleaner into the throttle valve in the engine, and try starting it. If it runs then you know its a fuel pump.

Car wont start maybe a bad fuel injector

Try cleaning the fuel filter. listen for a whirring noise from the fuel pump when you turn the key.

Diesel ford will crank but wont start acts like

If you have the 6.0 ltr diesel, then check the bowl where the 2nd fuel filter is, see if there is fuel in the bowl, if not then either your fuel pump which is on the frame under the driver's side in the water seperator/ heater has gone bad, or your filters could be bad, or the fuse to the fuel pump or the pump shut off switch which is located on the side panel at your feet on the passengers side, there is a reset button, make sure it has not popped and press it down, hopefully this helps, I had the same prob.

well christian you need to check fuel pump pressure and volume.if the fuel filter hasn;t been replaced in 30,000 mies i would replace it. but first the engine needs to be tested to see if all four sparkplugs have good spark and injector pulse.perform a injector pressure drop test .will tell if the injectors are allowing gas to pass.also if the engine cranks over slow may need the starter tested.engine will not start unless it reaches a rpm over 550.
