Default stalled out now won't turn over help

ford ranger XLT 2.9 V6 5-Speed 2WD ran great for almost a week, i was in reverse going about 5 mph and eased into a stop by the time that i turned around and hit the e brake, it had cut off(stalled out). i replaced the two fuel filters and the water/fuel separator and the fuel pump. still nothing. So, just to check i hot wired each injector to make sure they were working... HELP, what am i missing?

Does it crank? If it does did you try starting fluid in the throttle body? If it cranks and starts with starting fluid then fuel is the issue.

You're saying it doesn't even turn over. And then you go on about replacing fuel filters. So which is it. Does it not crank? Or does it just not fire?

sorry i was exhausted at the time this is what the situation is.

stalled out.
turns over, but will not fire up.
will run on starter fluid(injector problem?).
i have plenty of juice on the plugs.
new fuel pump.
new filters and fuel/water separator.
good gas.
new plugs wires and distributor cap.
i have fuel pressure(but nothing coming from the return line).
new fuel pump relay.

now when i go to crank it, it wants to start. it will fire on all pistons before it cuts off. its acting like its out of gas.

You said it has good gas---did you change the gas or condition the gas since the situation happened? I'm asking this because I once had an ex pick up the garden hose and fill my tank with water...yup. Not saying this happened to you, but strange things happen and i wouldn't assume the gas is good unless you did something to check it/change it since the situation occurred....I'd at least try adding some additive to the tank--its cheap enough.

^^ yeah that. It sounds like bad gas could be a culprit. I would try and drain the gas and refill with known good gas

What year is your truck? Have you checked the fuel pump inertia switch?...
