The truck was not getting fuel to the engine, I started with the fuel filter. Changed it, and now I can't keep the truck started without my foot on the gas. Tried pumping and cranking the truck several times, still it would not stay started. Any suggestions on where to go to next. My thinking is that if the truck stays crancked with the gas pedal down, the fuel pump is working, so I am ruling that out for now. I'm wondering if it could be the fuel injectors or could it still possibly be the fuel pump?

your fuel pump pressure should be 9-13 lbs. if it's below 9 you need a fuel pump.......
