She cranks like a champ but, I'm not hearing the fuel pump hum at all. I had someone mention the Distributor to me is there anything I can check before I start taking everything apart? Like I said, no fuel pump whine, like I was previously getting when starting the car. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

I believe 93 LX meant to say injector pulsing, not fuel pressure. Without both, plus the fuel pump not running, it usually indicates a bad stator in your distributor. Check out jrichker's Cranks OK, but No Start Checklist for Fuel Injected Mustangs for a pretty complete list of reasons why it might not start, but will continue to crank.

Hadn't tried anything yet, I haven't had time, with work and trying to get a baby's room done, my wife and I have other priorities besides the car. I'd imagine though, if there were any pressure on fuel system, it would've at least stuttered when I cranked it. However by what the posting mentioned in the link the PIP may be the first thing I check since it's under the hood and not buried with a half tank of gas under the car. I truly do appreciate everyone's input so far, I'll let you know what I figure out when i start checking stuff out.

spray some quick start down the throttle body and see if it fires...
then you know its a fuel issue.
