Engine not running

Check fuses
check fuel pressure hearing fuel pump doesn’t mean good fuel pressure
try to remove the cover off the throttle and spray starting fluid place the tube cover back and try to start
if it start your have a fuel delivery issue
check for injector pulse

check mass air flow sensor

Have you tried security system (if equipped)? Are you getting spark and/or fuel injector pulse? If not then I would look at the crank position sensor. Does the key have a chip in it?

Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, If you can hear the fuel pump come On- check the fuel pressure with a fuel pressure tester designed for your fuel system to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pick-up strainer/fuel pump/pressure regulator and also listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light and see if it flashing, If you don't hear the fuel pump, check the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay-Depends on what type ignition system is yours, No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, camshaft and crankshaft position sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply to your vehicle disregard it meaning if it doesn't come with one ignore it and continue testing

No crank at all/nothing/nada:

Could be the starter, starter relay, park and neutral switch/transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good. Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.

Ford usually don't work this way
if u have any electronic with the key or in the key chain remove it and try
I would check the starter and solenoid
too good luck

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Start by checking to see if you have both spark and fuel to the engine. One will most likely be missing. The idea that it would start with starting fluid leads me to believe the problem is with the fuel system.

Take a look at the chart.

Variable valve timing solenoid usually fails from lack of changing the oil

No, you need to follow the chart and checks for the vvt solenoid
