I have an 88 4runner with a V-6 5-speed.  It has been sitting for about 6
months since I started it last.  Yeah, the gas is turning bad.  In times
past after it had been setting, it would start on 4 or 5 cylinders and after
a few seconds would start hitting on all cylinders and run fine after that.

This time it will not fire unless I shoot it with starting fluid and it will
not keep running when the fluid is used up.  I checked all the fuses that I
could find and they were good.  It appears that I am not getting any fuel to
the fuel rail as I loosened the banjo fitting and there wasn't any gas there
to leak out.

Do I have to remove the tank to get to the pump?  Where are the wires that
power the pump so I can see if I have voltage?   Where should I check next?
Thanks to you all.

There should be a connection in the diagnostic to make the fuel pump
run.  Before that, check to see that the flapper on top of air filter
is moving - this controls when the pump runs after it starts.  Good
luck.  Ed
