Has never had problems, till this morning. It was about 9:30, and 38*F. The starter turns over strong, but the engine will not start unless I hit the gas and hold it. i kept it this way till it was warm, then let go of the gas, and it died. When I am not hitting the gas, it still dies. It has the 5.9 liter V8, 117,7XX miles, many mods. It usually starts very strong.

I don't know if this is significant, but it has a very strong smell of gasoline, never smelled it so strong before.

I say TPS. Check it before you attempt to pull the fuel pump.

Had water in the tank. Filled it up with more gas, and bought a solution from schucks. Thanks!
