So I tested the spark plugs. They definitely have spark. I can see it when I took it out and had my wife crank it. I didn't suspect this being an issue because it always started up and never hesitated when running or driving during my 60 mile commute every day. Plus the plugs and coilpack/wires are new being less than 4 months old.

I can not hear the fuel pump prime at all. Someone recommend taking a rubber mallet and smacking the bottom of the tank to see if it does anything. I might try that tomorrow morning. I am going to have my wife try and start it while I am under the tank to see if I hear the pump prime just so that I am not going crazy. Which I bet isn't going to happen.

Tank is full, just filled it up days ago before this. I normally never let the tank run empty and it's always fresh fuel every week. It never sits there for weeks/months with the same fuel.

Fuel pump should get to me on Saturday. OEM motorcraft. Just not looking to do this in the super cold weather outside. Bla!

I'll update hopefully in the next few days if I'm not frozen.
