Default 2001 4.6l f150 no start

2001 4.6l stalled while, driving...cranks but no start.../getting spark but needs starter fluid to run...when starter fluid used up it stalls again...fuel pump is working...i'm thinking fuel filter clogged...truck sat awhile...just bought it...1st dfauy rolling with full tank...waas empty almost...1/8 tank when bought...also asdded fuel treatment day of stall. Any ideas? ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH KEY ON BUT NO LIGHT AT ALL FOR CHECK ENGINE AFTER CRANKING. Also, no theft light flashing.

Did you check the fuel pressure?

Id change the fuel filter regardless as it's probably never been changed. And x2 with white... check fuel pressure. If you have spark and runs on starter fluid then you've clearly got a fuel issue. Just cz you think your pump is working doesn't mean it's working properly.

Yep, if there's correct pressure at the rail though, you've got an issue with the injectors not firing.

A 2001 doesn't have a FPDM.
