check the fuse box under the hood, there may be a fuse in there that is blown, if I remember correctly a short in the fuel heater on the fuel filter can cause that

I think that the chip problem is unlikely, but possible, it is also not unheard of for the CPS to fail, they have been rumored to sometimes be bad out of the box, but the no wait to start still leads me to the fuel heater fuse,

Welcome to FTE. I don't remember what year they changed the fuse number (it's not this way on my 02), but look for a fuse labeled fuse bowl heater or IDM. It was #30 on some trucks older than mine. As Bryan & Pete mentioned, the no WTS light is usually a sign of a blown fuel bowl heater. Replace the fuse, UNPLUG the heater, then start it up.
Also, as stated above, the aftermarket CPS units have been known to be bad out of the box. Where did you get your CPS from? If it's not a Ford part, you may need a new one. Does your tach move when you crank the engine? No tach is a sign of a bad CPS.
