Default 98 GRANDE 5.2L not getting fuel

I parked it last fall and it ran fine. Now it will only start if I dump fuel down the throttle body and then dies. I put 25 liters of gas in it but the gas guage shows empty and fuel light comes on. I swapped fuel relay with another of the same part number and still nothing. I have been boosting it with my truck as the battery was dead. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

Does the fuel pump have power when the ignition is on, when measured at the tank connector?

If not, then it is the fuses, relay or wiring.

Use the FSM wiring diagram to locate the fault.

FSM = Factory Service Manual

The FSM is required to maintain and repair the vehicle. The wiring diagram pages are within the FSM

They are available as a PDF or as a printed volume, like this one on eBay.

Possible broken or corroded wire terminal on the fuel pump plug. It happens often enough to check it before pulling the tank out.
