TL won't start..fuel pump??

New to the forum so take it easy on me you guys. 98 TL 3.2 will crank but will not turn over. First thought it was the starter turns out that's not the case. Then went to purchase a fuel pump but was told it was the fuel pump assembly that might be messed up. I'm thinking it might be the relay bc when I spray starter fluid it turns right over then stalls out. Seen previous similar threads but with me being new I really just need a step-by-step process to figure out this issue. Anyone can assist me with steps of checking the fuel pump assembly and relay? Thanks!

when you turn the key to acc position, do you hear your fuel pump turn on? if not might be ur main relay.
