2005 Explorer won't start (please help!)

I have a 2005 ford explorer with a full tank of gas and it won't start.
I put the key in the ignition and the lights and door ping come on.
I try to turn the key over and the engine turns over but it's like it's not getting any gas. I tried pushing down the accelerator and putting more gas in it and it won't start. HELP!

Any Codes ?..Ok Start with the basics...it takes air,fuel,spark,combustion for a vehicle to run...soo step one check the air filter,along with the tubing for clogs that may keep the air from flowing in...Second Check for spark..by pulling a plug wire..ill stick a small screwdriver in the plug end and hold it just above a ground source like the vave cover..crank her over..spark should jump from the screwdriver to the cover if it has it...third...youll need a fuel pressure guage to determine fuel pressure at the rail..there is a schrader valve on the rail for this prceedure it looks like a tire valve basically..proper fuel pressure should be in the 45-50 psi range when the key is turned on....
