To check to see if there is fuel getting to the throttle body, disconnect the fuel line there, run it into a bottle and then turn the ignition switch to RUN not START. Fuel should flow from the line into the bottle.
Check the fuel for water contamination and if it smells old
Also, check the fuel pressure on that line.

The fact that it starts when starting fluid is sprayed into it means that fuel isn't getting to the intake manifold (bad injectors, clogged line etc.)

Get back to me with the results.
