Fuel pump most likely if it will start with a dose of gas.

Before condemning the fuel pump, always a good idea to confirm good power and ground are available to the fuel pump.You may need to crank the engine over some to give it time to get power to the pump. Ground can be confirmed with voltage drop testing or just use a meter or test lite to confirm ground is good.

Make sure fuel pump fuse and relay are good and working.

Or injectors are not firing and pump is good.Try a new ICM if pump tests ok.
