Default 91 Mustang wont stay started

I got a question. I just got back off a 6 month deploymentfrom South America and i got in my car to start it and it wont stay started. My wife said that she started itevery other day wheni was gone and it didnt start acting up untill like a month from me gettin back. The car doesnt have a problem trying to start it just seems like it doesnt want to stay started.I just changed the fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs and wires, IAC valve, and the fuel pressure regulator valve. Sometimes the car will crank but then it seems like it doesnt have any gas... and yes it does have gas in it.I drained the tank when i changed the fuel pump and filter. Also i can kind of pump the gas pedal and it tries to crank and it might idel for a few seconds and then tries to shut of.I have done everthing that I know to do. If anyone out there has had a problem like this please help. THANKS

no i didnt check for a spark because sometimes my car will crank and it will idle fine for a little while and then the car will try to shut off just like its not getting gas. like on easter i got in my car and drove it all day then monday i got in it and it would start. And i changes my IAC (idle air control) valve.
