88 4Runner not getting gas.

I have an 88 4runner with a V-6 5-speed. It has been sitting for about 6
months since I started it last. Yeah, the gas is turning bad. In times
past after it had been setting, it would start on 4 or 5 cylinders and after
a few seconds would start hitting on all cylinders and run fine after that.

This time it will not fire unless I shoot it with starting fluid and it will
not keep running when the fluid is used up. I checked all the fuses that I
could find and they were good. It appears that I am not getting any fuel to
the fuel rail as I loosened the banjo fitting and there wasn't any gas there
to leak out.

Do I have to remove the tank to get to the pump? Where are the wires that
power the pump so I can see if I have voltage? Where should I check next?
Thanks to you all.

There should be a connection in the diagnostic to make the fuel pump
run. Before that, check to see that the flapper on top of air filter
is moving - this controls when the pump runs after it starts. Good
luck. Ed
