2000 Jeep Cherokee 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

This vehicle drove to the spot it is at. It has sat for several months and was out of fuel.10gal added to tank. Gage does not register and will not fire. Is this a fuel pump issue and if so is the fuel pump in the tank?

The fuel pump is in the fuel tank.

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark issue

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor camshaft and crankshaft sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
