1991 Ford F-150 hard to start after engine starts and runs for the first time

I have a 1991 Ford F-150 with a 5.0 Liter engine with EFI. Truck has 180000 miles on Truck and transmission, with 30000 on engine.

Starts good for the first time of the day, but when you turn truck off and try to restart it just cranks over until you put gas pedal to the floor and then it starts. I have replaced spark plugs, rotor button, gas filter, fuel injectors. I've cleaned all electrical connections, throttle body etc. I checked fuel pressure at fuel rail, (it showed 30 psi). I don't know what else to try, Please Help.

 

P.S. Sorry about earlier post and not showing proper information about Truck. I tried to link to first posting, to show where I started. After I posted question noticed it didn't work, and I didn't know how to fix it.

Def sounds like a fuel injection problem - you can verify by having somebody do the hot engine/no start cranking and smell the exhaust, which SHOULD smell strongly of unburned gas (but probably doesn't because lack of fuel is what's keeping it from running).

I'd start going through all the sensors that drive your fuel mixture - temp sensor, throttle position, etc. If one of these is giving bad readings, that could be giving you these symptoms.
