Check the computer for codes. This will tell you how: https://www.f150forum.com/showthread.php?t=10907s

I put this in your intro too:
You need to do a fuel pressure static test. This is a test to see how fast the pressure drops after the fuel pump has shut off. If it drops quickly there may be a problem with the fuel pump, regulator or a blockage in a line.
