Check fuse and relay if all is good could have bad fuel pump.
It does sound like the fuel pump. You could try changing fuel filters first. You should never run your car with less than a quarter of a tank, it sucks dirt particles off the bottom of the tank. It messes up fuel injectors as well. Always run a Lucas fuel treatment at every oil change. Good Luck.

You say t pump is coming on, but do you fuel coming up to the fuel injector rail? You can check for fuel by pushing down the valve located at the left front side of fuel rail. It looks like a tire air fill stem. Be very careful as fuel is under 40 psi pressure and can spray all over the place. do this with engine OFF and have a rag to cover the valve. Just press with tip of screwdriver and be sure valve is covered. If a little gas come out,you know you have fuel. If not gas then check fuel delivery system i.e pump, filter, lines or pickup tube.
If there is fuel in the rail, then there is most likely a problem with the control module (computer).
Check for fault codes with an OBD II reader. You can usually rent one at your local part store. You can look up fault codes to find out where the problem might lie.
More questions, just leave in comments.
Good Luck.

sounds like very dirty throttle body and /or defective idle air control valve

This sounds like the PCM has taken a turn for the worst. The pcm relay sends power to the fuel relay for 2 seconds to prime the fuel system just before start up.
Then the pcm ungrouds the signal for a prove out.

possible just not probable. you need to see if there is any pressure to fuel rail. if not youre going to have to by pass the fuel pump and see if it is getting voltage. if so then apply a seperate voltage and ground wire to the pump to see if it kicks on. come to think of it, it could be the PATS system(security) that shuts down the system. it will crank but will not fire. your ford dealer will need to reprogram the system.

Get a DTC scanner and see what it says...in the meantime, check that fuel pump relay and fuel pump. The humming sound is probably the heater blower motor or part of the HVAC system winding down after disconnecting from power.

I have considered checking the relay and fuse not sure where they are don't have a 2001 owners manual. Googled it and didn't have much luck... I think I found relay and there were two that looked a like... I swittched them out and still no hum or start... Will try to locate fuse next. Thanks.
