Dies on start up

2000 ford ranger 3.0 v6

When I try to start the truck it cranks over first try and then instantly stops (dies) I値l turn the key again and it値l do the same thing and then usually after 2-4 try痴 and pumping the gas it値l start sputter then rev up and idle rough for about 15 sec and then acts like nothing ever happened makes no sense and the codes I have so far are for misfires on 3,6 and then both 02 sensors and a lean engine code

i ordered both 02 sensors and just got a new MAF sensor and fuel filter and it helped with the performance but not the startup

Reads like fuel pressure issue, failing fuel pump
Test fuel pressure, 2000 Ranger should be 60psi, under 25psi would cause what you describe
