No power to fuel pump?
When you turn the key on do you hear the fuel pump prime? It is in your gas tank. IF you are not sure, open the gas cap, and listen while someone else turns the key on.

Check the inertia switch (fuel safety cut off switch). The red button should be depressed.

Pull out your owner's manual.
IF you don't have one, you may obtain one here...

It will have a diagram under roadside emergencies of which fuse powers the fuel pump relay. Check the fuse(s). (note: there may be more than one fuse... one to the relay, one to the pump, and maybe one that goes from the power distribution box to the fuse circuits under the dash)

IF that is good then check the relay.
How to check a fuel pump relay

When you are looking at an older vehicle one must examine connections to make sure they are clean and tight.

You'll also be well served by checking your grounds. Most Fords have a couple on the radiator support, one or both fender/quarter panels, and one or two on the firewall inside the engine compartment.
