Default 85 efi 5.0 intermittent no start. Help!!!!

Ok I've got an 85 f150 5.0 efi and it started out cutting out on me while driving. I have fixed this issue I think. I put a new tfi on it. Along with a new ecm, dist, tune up, coil. I think that's all I put on. It was loosing spark. Not sometimes it won't start but I still have spark. I put a new pump in the rear tank and a new high pressure pump on the rail. I thought I wasn't getting the right fuel pressure. Truck starts sometimes. About the only thing I haven't replaced are the injectors and the harness. I don't know where to go next it won't start today and tomorrow it will start and I won't even touch the truck between tries. When it starts it runs good. It's not making sense to me. Help please

You did not mention the fuel pressure regulator. Did you do a fuel pressure check at the fuel rail? See my post in this thread for specifications. https://www.f150forum.com/f13/proper...essure-306088/

Read my links for fuel system info and code reading.
