Default 2001 ford f250 7.3L 280,000 miles won't start please help

Truck died while driving it had been running good up to the time it died. It will not restart with the exception of (I know it's bad)but it will fire with a small shot of starting fluid but dies after about 3 seconds. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, ICP, HPOP, CMP, CPS, changed the oil, dropped the fuel tank and checked the pick up screen, checked return fuel line no clogs, checked fuses, hooked to 3 different obdII scanners no codes. I put 100 lbs air pressure in ICP port in head held pressure could not hear any leaks. took the IPR apart and cleaned it. Does anyone have any ideas of what I'm missing here. Not only do we need our truck to run but this has become a mission to find out what's wrong getting very frustrated.

I hadn't thought about the scanner to check that I will see if the scanners I have can do that tomorrow. do you know what the pressure should be.
