I think we can help you. The helpfulness of our answers are going to depend on how easy to understand your sentences are. Please use punctuation and capitalization. I hate giving irrelevant answers because I misunderstood.

So, it looks like you have some diagnostic procedures in mind. Let’s see if we can get it done without spending money on unneeded parts.
1. Have you found the “no start checklist” on here? (It’s likely in the 5.0 tech sticky threads.)
2. Do I understand your noid lights are on the way? That test will be helpful.
3. Have you checked to see what your fuel pressure is?

Have not checked the pressure yet that Gage is on its way also car runs good if I feed it gas into the intake and I just looked at the check list I done 85% of it in order so far and no luck

Just from what I read (and could understand), the obvious answer is you're not getting fuel. Whether it is the pump, filter, or injectors, something in the fuel system is the problem. If it were me, I'd start with the fuel pump. You should know more once you receive your Fuel Pressure Gauge.

Has a processor problem or the wiring is shorted or hacked
The fuel pump should not run constantly
Means shorted wire in the self test connector or the harness
Someone may have modified the circuit
One? injector hot? They should all have power with the key on
Noid light and fuel pressure gauge is a start
Pump may have broken swollen hose inside the tank pump to pipe common

If the pump is running continuously with key on to prime then I would pull your ecm and check for leaking caps
