Cranks well but won't start. If I spray "starting fluid" into air filter she starts. Until this morning then no matter what its just cranking.

Glow light comes on.

More then likely this is a fuel pressure issue. However, we need to confirm that before replacing the pump. Here is a guide that goes through how to check fuel pressure:

If you have pressure then it is a delivery issue but that is more rare. More then likely it needs a pump. Let us know what the pressure is when you turn the key to the on position and then crank the engine. Thanks
