2000 F350 5.4 no start problem

<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message --><TABLE width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>the battery died in the 2000, and it sat for 3 weeks before i found it. now with a new battery, it will crank, but not fire.
even with a shot of ether it will not fire.
i hooked the scanner up, but with the key on i get no readings, almost like the computer is bad.


anyone have any ideas on where to look??

Does the CEL come on at power-on?

Does the fuel pump prime?

Does your cigar lighter work?

Have you checked fuses F24 and F30 in the under hood box?

well, i got into it a little more today, and i have no fuel pressure at the schrader valve on the passenger side fuel rail. so it looks like either there is no power going to the pump, or the pump took a crap.
