HELP! My '03 5.4 won't start

About 2 weeks ago it would turn over and cough and then just spin. After a few minutes it would crank. Last week it didn't do it at all, this morning when I am loaded and headed to Atlanta for work it wouldn't crank at all. I didn't have any starting fluid so I tried some cleaner and it would cough and just spin. I'm thinking fuel pressure but I just don't know. Thanks for any help or advise.

Can you hear the fuel pump run when you turn on the key ? If not my guess would be fuel pump...

No check engine light but havnt had a chance to check for codes. Had to load the Jeep and come to Atlanta. Truck is couple of hours away at home.
going to have to get it towed to the shop. The fuel pump seems right, About 10 times over two weeks it would take a few minutes to crank and then went a week with no problem. I tried for a couple of hours sunday but no luck. Thanks for the help.
