Default have no idea...wont start

I recently got a 1990 f150 with the strait six, 5 speed, 2wd
I drove it back home about 20 minutes away no problems. Stopped for gas along the way and the truck fired up no problem.
Parked it at home it sat for about an hr and a half before I went outside and the truck won't start now. Been sitting in the same spot for over a week.
The truck will crank and crank. Sometimes it'll fire then die right after.
I have checked for fuel, I know I get it into the combustion chamber.
Checked for spark and went ahead and threw new plugs and wires at it anyway.
Tested tps and it came back bad so I replaced it today as well as checked the distributor and rotor.
I'm unsure of what I need to do next as far as tests.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Check for spark. Get a fuel pressure gauge and check the pressure.

That was the short version. The longer version wouldn't load and I didn't want to retype the whole thing.
