Replaced the fuel pump in 1988 ford f250 and the engine still seems to not be getting fuel

You are correct plus the cost of a fuel pump for a Ford is
very high and a pain to replace. I have removed my bed liner and cut a hole into the bed over the tank to get to the pump, if you do decide to cut a hole, only cut 3 sides and bend it over so you can bend it back in place after changing the bad fuel pump. Good luck hope this
helps.

CHECK FUEL PUMP RELAY MAY BE LATCH ON IF SO REPLACED RELAY

dies and is hard to start unless you let it cool off.....fuel pump. Hope this helps tim

When was the last time you had the fuel filter changed?

The fuel pump relay and the oil pressure switch as well. The oil pressure switch runs power to the fuel pump when you first start it
When the oil pressure reaches operating range the relay takes over
They are both inexpensive so replace both of these parts to be safe and kill two birds with one stone. If one goes out the other will soon enough

u do not have a fuel pump reset switch...fuel pump might be out

Check the distributor and timing order to make sure it has not jumped at all from a timing malfunction.

If the inertia switch will not work and keeps popping then you will need to replace the fuel pump.

Pass side inside on the fire wall inside by the heater core just below it. There's a black box with white botton on top. Push the white button downword to reset the fuel pump.

For the fuel filter, you'll find it along the inside fram rail in the driver's side. Just follow the fuel lines.

Good luck oh and not sure if the 1988 F250 are the same as the 86, but if they are what i typed out should help. Happy Easter

the fuel pump cut off safety switch (inertia switch) is near the parkbrake pedal.there is a push button on top, push it to reset
