Is this normal?

2000 Navigator 129k, been throwing lean codes, crankinging over but not starting in below zero temps. I had it in the shop and they replaced the mass air flow sensor and a vacuum elbow, and the lean codes went away but still not starting in below zero temps. I replaced the fuel filter today and it looked a little fishy. I'll post a picture. Is that green corrosion on the inlet side normal, or could it be the cause of my no start issue? I believe I'm dealing with a lack of fuel.

The green is normal.
How many miles since the spark plugs were changed?

I've only had the truck since June, but I contacted the dealer who regularly serviced it, and they say it was done about 5 years and 30k ago, along with about $5000 of other scheduled maintenance

Well, it started this morning at -22F, so maybe the fuel filter was the problem. Looks like we are getting a warm up to the teens for a little bit here so I won't know for sure if it's good for a week or 2

There may have been some water in the filter element that was freezing and restricting the fuel flow.
