05 3.0 V6 Ranger cranks but won’t start

‘05 Ranger 3.0 V6 cranks but won’t start! Even after trying everything.
I’m having the same problem. Reading this thread, I tried some of the diagnostic procedures. I replaced the relay. I replaced the fuel pump because I was certain that’s what the problem was. I have electricity at the plug to the fuel pump. I can’t remember which forum, a guy said, hook up your multimeter to the pink and black wires, turn the key, it’ll go to 12 V for two seconds and then drop to 6 to 8 V. It did that. I took the fuel filter off and directed the hoses into a container and turned the key, no fuel spewed out. I opened up the air intake and sprayed starter fluid and it did turn over, obviously it didn’t run. So I know I have spark. I haven’t tried the Schrader valve at the fuel rail because it doesn’t seem like it’s sending any fuel at all. When I turn the key, I don’t hear the fuel pump.
it is not throwing any codes.
I think the next thing I’m gonna try is the sensor for the crankshaft.
(somebody said don’t throw parts at it and that’s what I’m doing!)

im not sure what the problem is? the motor will turn over but wont run? with starter fluid did it fire? yes or no. if you have spark the crank sensor is good.
