The car will turn over and crank but only if you spray ether on iban now when you try to crank it the security light comes on. Fuel pressure issues?

Is the security light flashing? does the engine run on starting fluid? Also, we should run the codes to see what comes up.

Do you hear the fuel pump kick on when you turn the key on but not crank the engine over? Please go over these guides and get back to us.

The security keeps flashing when you try to crank the truck. I can hear the fuel pump coming on.

It looks like you found the problem, here is the fuel pressure stats:

Key On Engine Off .................... 60-66 psi

Here is how to change the fuel pump out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
