Default 2003 E-350 fuel issue (no start)

I am 17, I have an e-350 that sat for almost 10 years,
it has always started with starter fluid, but it wasn't getting fuel so I replaced my fuel pump, and now I get good fuel pressure all the way up to the fuel rail,
if the injectors were working properly or squirting any fuel at all into the engine it would run. So I am wondering if there are any electrical fuses/relays that power the injectors that I should check,
or if all 8 are clogged.
I would believe they are clogged because the old fuel I drained /cleaned from the tank during the pump replacement was mostly jelly.
But I would also think the fuel pressure would be able to burst through a clog anyways.

Let me know what y'all think. This is my first post here.

edit: I did install a new fuel filter as well.

The fuel filter is supposed to prevent foreign "stuff" from getting to the injectors.
There are fuses you should check. If you have the owner's manual it will tell you what fuses and relays protect what and where they are located.
Do you have a test lite to use ?

A little side note,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,if at all possible I would not recommend the use of starting fluid because most folks use too much and it can damage pistons.
If you suspect fuel is not getting into the engine consider using carb & choke cleaner . It will burn like gasoline , but not cause damage to the pistons.

Another reminder, did you check the inertia switch for possibly being tripped ?

I don't have the manual, I checked every fuse under the hood, and yes I have checked the inertia switch,
I have a mechanics stethoscope and I have held it to an injector and I hear no clicking at all. Are there any fuses you know of below the steering wheel that might be injector related? If I can't find a fuse to test, Im putting a volt meter to injectors electrical plug.
