It lives!!!!! OK, I've got this Expedition running real nice now, here is what I think the problems were and how I solved them. At first glance the crank/no start with no codes issued made the vehicle appear to have a bad fuel pump. I replaced it and was totally wrong, I didn't notice the PATs issue (flashing theft light that would go on for 15 minutes) and should have. So after throwing that part at it and deciding that at 213k miles it was a liability anyway, I started down the path of PATs, PCM, GEM/CTM or grounding issues. I checked every fuse, link and relay in those circuits, I removed and bench inspected/tested the PCM, PATs Module, PATs antenna, and GEM/CTM modules reading every manual and diagram I could get my hands on. No problems with any of those modules. The vehicle would start and run while being jumped or boosted. Battery checked out within specs and the only thing I could think of was an open ground, because the charger/booster and jumping vehicle were both grounded properly. New neg battery cable, two new ground wires and every ground I could find inspected, cleaned, greased, put back together and a squirt of paint. After I got it running I replaced the air filter and cleaned the throttle body. What did I learn? Any future PATs or PCM concerns will be addressed with a grounding system inspection first. My total parts and consumables with this saga was just under $200. I guess I spent 16-20 hrs all total on the repairs. The fuel pump quotes alone were all at $800. I think the electrical diagnosis and repairs would have at least doubled that bill. Thanks to everyone who helped with advise and encouragement.
