88 f150 not starting....

truck has spark, if i add gasoline through a line into the intake manifold,it starts and runs very good.once that gas runs out,it dies. fuel pump is audible upon key being turned to the on position.fuel filter was removed and blown through with no restriction.i changed the cap and rotor. i did a code check and got a "54", air charge intake sensor. what am i overlooking?

you said your fuel pump is running but have you actually checked fuel pressure?
