I see the image but no code? Will the engine run on starting fluid?

Please go over this video to help see why the engine will not run:

Hello, seems to be a fuel issue, put some starter fluid on air intake and started it and then died off. Fuel pump seems to be working. Not sure what to do next.

You are using an OBD2 scanner, correct? Because "1" is not a code, you may have a bad PCM, have you checked all fuses with the key on?
