7.3 fire but no start

, so my current 2001 7.3 has been a bastard lately. all started when driving I felt a hiccup here and there. so I ordered a cps from riff raff as I know all too well about the problems these things cause. he sent me a black one that is for the 97 I believe as he says they test out better than the ford grey. swapped it out and the damn truck really hasn't ran since.put the old one back in no start." truck was running fine before I swapped it " so I go get a grey one from ford, same thing no start. it will fire and sometimes idle for a minute then just die. so here we go$$$$$ replace icp does no good even though old one had oil and needed replaced, new alternator and batteries needed those as well. this truck did set for a year and a half so I start checking fuel, bowl would fill up but not very fast and noticed some air bubbles so I get new fuel pump. then truck would fire up and idle so I take it out for a drive and it almost stranded me. limped it home and now barely will start. so I dropped tank yesterday and did hutch mod. tank and pickup was surprisingly clean. replaced the feed line from tank to pump and that eliminated air bubbles. acted like it wanted to start and now nothing.. now I just broke the threads off the fpr all lights on dash are normal and checked with snap on scanner and no codes. tried to run a buzz test with a buddies old scanner and the test keeps aborting. his old scanner only for up to 2000 so not sure what the deal is with that..ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS? would bad IDM cause it to still fire any maybe start sometimes? IPR? FPR? got a new housing coming obviously.
