Sounds like the drainback valve inside the pump is shot...try just turning the key on and waiting a minute and see if it starts that way.

95 s 10 blazer w model 4.3 won't start one day couple days later fires up runs fine

When using starter fluid, remove air induction to the throttle body and spray a 1 to 2 second burst directly down the TB and promptly start.

Also a flooded engine will not fire, even with starter fluid. Pull a plug and see if it's soaked with fuel. If the plug appears dry and there is spark and it won't fire on starter fluid directly down the TB, then most likely the spark is too weak. Inspect cap and rotor for erosion. Look for signs of carbon tracks on the cap and the coil.

Check the ignition timing as it appears that the firing order is wrong. Make sure that the cam shaft is turning as it could be the belt broken

I would suspect the crank sensor, but it needs to be verified when it wont start.

2002 ford taurus won't start at first crank in the morning

remove the air filter housing from the throttle body, or if its mult-ported injection, remove the large air duct. Do this the night before. The next day, before cranking and having a spray can of carb. cleaner, spray a couple of shots of carb cleaner either into the large air duct, spray towards the engine, or if its single body injection, spray directly on to the throttle body.

Crank engine immediately, preferrably have some one else sitting in the car to start it after you spray.

If the car even tries to start, replace cold start relay.

1998 Jeep Cherokee won't start?

I need to confirm some information. The engine is rotating, just not starting, right? When you put the key into the "on" position, do you hear the fuel pump prime itself? You'll hear a hum sound for a couple of seconds. If not, spray some starting fluid into the throttle body and see if the engine starts. If it does start with the starting fluid, then shuts off again, the fuel pump or the fuel pump relay is bad. I'd change the relay first, if that doesn't help, the fuel pump is bad.
