Possible vp44 failure but have other concerns

I have a problem with my dads 99 IBS. Truck hard starting, ocassional dead pedal, stalls when putting in gear, lack of power, no smoke, no codes. I don't have a doubt that the vp44 is bad. Problem is when truck stalls and try for restart the lift pump is not running. Just installed new lift pump. Will bad vp44 cause lift pump not to run or do I have other issues. please help. By the way truck is not bombed.
