2001 Sport Trac wont start.

Newby here. Thanks for patience. I have inherited my sons 2001 Sport Trac. 4.0 v-6. Has not been run for a year. He parked it. I have charged the battery and it turns over fine. Will not fire or crank. If I shoot little starter fluid intake it will fire. But will not keep running. I have no owners manual. My first thought, fuse for fuel pump blown. No owners manual so don't know location of fuse. Any other thoughts or suggestions? If I can get get gas to it I think it will run. Thank you !

Simple but also make sure you have gas that is good. Bad gas can sludge and then clog fuel lines. They have solvents to help this if this is a problem.
