'96 900S won't start; need some ideas...

This is a friend's car. '96 900S 4-dr non-turbo auto, 130K miles. Used to be my car (from new) until I sold it to her months' ago.
I NEVER had a problem with the car, but, of course, now things are popping up (isn't there a saying, "Never sell to a friend"?).
Here's the deal: car cranks like it wants to start, but doesn't. Friend's husband sprayed starting fluid into air intake (where air filter is) and car started, then died a minute after.
I over-maintained that car while I owned it, so I know it is not from abuse. Could the fuel pump be shot without any warning? Could it be something else?
The battery is fairly new, though the positive cable is corroded (I think I may have scraped off the protective lining on it when I cleaned them one time, and no amount of battery anti-corrosion goo has ever helped).
BTW: the check engine light is not on.
TIA
Joe
