Check three things: Fuel pump relay, and fuel pump inertia cut off safety device if equiped. check for 12 volts at the fuel pump to rule out faulty connector or wiring.

Plus you need to check if the fuel injector if stuck open and also the fuel pressure regulator.

this is on a 2000 Kia Sportage and no cut off safety switch,where is the pressure regulator located

1996 thunderbird 3.8 why is the oil pressure high?

It is normal for the oil pressure to be high when the engine is first started and is cold. It should settle at around 40 psi once the engine reaches full operating temperature. If it does not, then change the oil and filter and make sure you are using the correct weight oil, which is more than likely 5w30. Use a good oil filter such as Purolator, Wix, or Motorcraft in your Ford. Make sure to use the correct size filter. If none of this helps, then have an oil pressure test run, as your oil pressure gage may be wrong.

When Ford F-250 5.0 engine turns over no fuel is getting to engine all 3 fuel pumps are working?

Just because you hear the pumps hum does not mean they are working. Also, where is the third pump? There should only be two, one in each tank. I am not aware of an F250 with a high pressure frame rail pump, how old is the truck? Have you pulled the fuel filter and checked for restriction? What happens when you pull the line off and turn the key on? Does fuel come out? When you say no fuel is getting to the engine, do you mean you have no fuel pressure, or the injectors aren't spraying anything? Could it be that fuel is getting to the fuel rail but the injectors are not firing? Could it be that you are getting some fuel pressure, but not enough fuel pressure? What if your fuel guage is wrong, and you have two empty fuel tanks? These are questions you need to answer to eliminate things down to your cause.

Can a faulty fuel pressure regulator prevent the fuel pump to send fuel to the engine?

No, the fuel would still be pumped to the engine but it would be at the wrong pressure at the injectors.
