2001 F-150 V6 wont start!

I have a 2001 F-150 V6. When I turn the key it cranks and I pulled a plug wire off and it does have spark. The fuel pump relay clicks when I turn the key so it seems there are no electrical problems. Checked the fuses too. Also checked the fuel cutoff collision switch. However, when I crank it and push the schrader valve no fuel comes out. I replaced the fuel pump just a couple of years ago. Any ideas?

Could be the inertia switch. You need to do some electrical checks to see if the fuel pump is getting power.

I checked the fuel pump collision cut-off and I reset it. How do I check for electrical?

Can you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn on the key? If not, either the pump is bad or it's not getting power.

I can hear the fuel pump but it's not a hum like its priming. It is more of a grinding sound.

Sounds like it's time for another fuel pump. Cheap aftermarket pumps don't last long.
