Help please, started then died. won't start now

Changed my fuel filter. Drained then put filter in. Charged the F.P. back up to 16 psi. Then started truck. She ran for about 5 sec. then just died. Now it won't start. It will crank the truck apart but won't start.

I took the filter out to make sure there was fuel in there and there is.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for all your help. I ended up opening the filter back up. Cranked er over and let it flow fuel out the filter. Closed er back up and cranked again. This time I got 16 psi. But still wouldn't start. So I cranked some more and put the gas peddle down. Then she took off. Runs great again and stills starts.

Thanks for the help!

Just seen your post. Yeah, you need to bump you key 4 maybe 5 times in order to build up enough fuel in the filter canister. And you have to wait a minute or so between each bump.
