Angry 2001 ford f150 4x4 wil not start

it cranks over and it will fire with starting fluid briefly. it acts as though it's not getting fuel I think its a problem with the theft protection because the theft protection light is blinking. it has a5.4L V8 SOHC 16V engine. can anyone assist me with this, please? a while back i could disconnect the battery and reconnect it then it would start. but that does not work any more.

Do you have a second (chipped) key you could try? If your theft light is flashing, this is an issue with PATS. Might require the dealer to reflash or replace your ECU.
