OK, I'll start from the begining,

My car, 1988 5.0 GT, was sitting for about 5 months and I started it up to move it. I ran for about 5 minutes before it died out. I assume this is because I ran out of gas. So I put a gallon in and tried to start it, it cranked but didnt start. The next day I put another gallon in and a bottle of heat and it still would rank but not start. Then I tried starting fluid but it didnt work. Next day I tried to prime it, I heard the pump once but not again after that. Couple days later I tried starting fluid again right in the TB, it ran for a few seconds but died.

I also checked the fuel line under the hood and nothing was coming out. I found the fuel pump cut off switch, pushed the button and tried a jumper wire but the pump still isnt coming on.
