Default '95 2500- TBI V8 5.7L Help...

Alright so i have a 1995 Chevy 2500 Silverado with a V8 5.7L. She's been sitting for about three years.
So far i've...
Changed the oil and the filter
Added some Sea Foam to the gas tank
Replaced the battery.
From there the engine keeps sounding like it wants to start but isn't getting any enough fuel.
I then changed the fuel filter and It still doesn't want to start. I was told to clean the injectors... Help if you can please. i just need to know what to do and if so how to clean the injectors, i was told that sea foam would do that but since it seems that it's not making it to the injectors, i dont know what to do.

do you have fuel, spark and compression? if any of these isn't right, motor won't start.

first off, gas that's been stting lomger than a year is pretty much worthless. drain tank, add fresh gas.

second, have you made sure there is spark?

I have checked the Simple things. I even replaced the fuel pump fuse i can hear it go. My step brothers dad is a mechanic, he said that he was going to come check and it might be a hose in the pump and not the full pump. we came to this conclusion be cause we weren't getting much pressure post filter.

Thank you guys for your reply's, i'm pretty sure there is a spark. I'll update tomorrow and let you guy's know whats up...
