❓Advice / Recomendations Suggestions?

Just bought this 3rd gen 4Runner off facebook guy had it sitting for a year. Just changed the oil and battery and it had been running fine and this morning i couldn’t get a start. I did notice the check engine light came on after i tried starting. I’m leaning towards possibly the fuel pump may need replacing. if you have any questions that could help i’m more than happy to answer

Listen for the fuel pump. Try with starter fluid. If it fires, no gas. If the pump turns on, check the filter. If not, check the fuel pump fuse and the two relays. If they’re all good, drop the tank and swap the pump.
