New Guy. BIG Problem

[jcshores]

Hello. Long story so I will get to it. Buying a 94 F150 from a coworker. It sat for 3 months b4 I got it. Ran at first then would die with engine light on. Ford dealer took it, said it was fixed, 2 weeks later back in the shop dead. 3 weeks later they found a vacuum leak and returned it "fixed". ran fine except for intermittent engine light/dying. That would do it mostly when both tanks were low. I fill them it cranks up and is fine. Yesterday it ran like crap. Tanks were near half so I filled them. Ran OK. afternoon took about 50 tries to get it to stay running long enough for the 20 mile trip home.. Made it fine. This morning it will not even try to start. Engine turns over but never even tries to grab and sputter. I need to find this problem (fuel?) as I cannot afford to be w/out it tomorrow when work time rolls around.

I may have not been specific enough with some details, if anyone has an idea or desire to assist and needs more let me know. I will check this every few minutes and if need be, give someone my #.
I AM DESPERATE!!

there should be a white reset button in the side -- fords put them in to shut off fuel pumps in an accident
