97 Explorer V6 2WD cranks won't start

[Seaeric]

Its been sitting for 3 months. Ran fine last time I drove it. Fuel gauge says 3/4 full, she spins over fine but doesn't give any indication that it will start. I'm not mechanical at all, but before I call the hook is there anything I should check?

Can you hear the fuel pump priming when you turn the key to the on position without cranking?

ya it sounds like you either dont have a spark or fuel pressure, one of the two

I'm going to check that next. If not, is there a corresponding fuse that could be blown?

 

[Seaeric]

I don't hear the fuel pump at all when the key is on. I see in the owner's manual that there is a fuel pump switch. I'm not clear on where that may be located.

It needed a fuel pump. I'm back up and running.
