No WTS light and the symptoms point to a CPS. Ask him if the tach moves when cranking. Also, make sure to get a dealer or Motorcraft CPS, NOT a parts store replacement.

X2 ^^^ check fuse 22. If blown unplug the fuel filter canister heater wire, put another fuse in 22 (30A I believe), common problem.

Lots of things but most importantly the PCM and fuel filter canister heater. If the heater wire shorts inside the fuel bowl it blows fuse #22 and kills power to the PCM, thus no WTS light. IIRC it the second from top connector on drivers side on fuel bowl. Hard to remove because it's a spade type push on connector.
