Hey folks!
I'm not a very active member but am hoping to get some assistance or guidance here.
I have a 2010 LTZ, 4 cyl, 55k
Issue: Vehicle would not start this morning. Everything seems to power on (remote lock-unlock-trunk, radio, climate control, interior/exterior lights, etc.), and dash appears to light up as normal, but I get nothing from the engine when attempting to start. Remote start does not engage either.
This same issue happened about this same time last year. Vehicle was still under warranty at the time and was towed to the dealership. However, upon their first attempt to start it, she fired right up, of course. Diagnostics were run with no negative results shown so the problem was unknown. Vehicle was returned and has operated daily as normal ever since without a hint of an issue, until this morning. Both incidents seems to have been the first sub-freezing temps of the season. This was certainly the case last night and I am pretty sure it was the case previously.
Turning key to run position and letting sit for 10-15 minutes, then to off letting sit for 5 minutes. This I found as a "trick" related to a possible malfunctioning anti-theft system that causes similar no-start issues, however, my anti-theft light does not stay on. Just thought Id give it a try as I am at my wits ends here on this.
Not sure what other information I can provide. Really at a loss here. I am leaning towards possibly an engine/coolant temp sensor giving inaccurate readings (I'm grasping here). Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any input or assistance.

- Things I have done in hopes to resolve:
- Removed and cleaned battery cables
- Removing battery cables and let sit for about 30 minutes
- Jumping (neighbors F150)
