Cranks but won’t fire. Doesn’t seem to be getting gas.
I checked the inertia switch but it hasn’t been tripped.
checked the fuel pump fuse and it’s good.

Is it the fuel pump? Any other possible solutions?

No, that’s why I thought maybe the fuse or the switch, just hoping for an easier solution
 
You can access the pump through the shelf behind the seats. All of the trim will need to be removed. There’s a theory that you should always keep at least a quarter tank of gas as the fuel acts as coolant for the pump. I don’t know whether that actually helps but it can’t hurt.

I just went through the same issue on my 2002. Fuel pump was bad. Do yourself a favor and replace BOTH the pump and the sender at the same time. Once and done! You'll be glad you did. Hope this helped.

Did your sender fail? I understand that it has no moving parts.
