Yeah, if it's not getting fuel, it ain't gonna start. Spraying starting fluid into it is like giving it a sip of gas. Take the fuel filter off and turn the key on to see if any gas comes out. U may even hear the fuel pump, some cars have a slight whining sound for a few seconds when u first turn the key on. W

Sherry if you still have this issue, I would check both fuel pumps(in tank) and if you have an in line fuel pump definitely check that
