Crank, no start

Most likely flooded. Pull the plugs and let them dry out. With the plugs out, hold the accelerator pedal to the floor and crank it over for a few seconds to clear the cylinders, then reinstall them.

Press and hold the gas pedal to the floor and see if it'll fire. If it does, then Throttle Position Sensor is either out of adjustment or bad.
If no start with pedal down, I'd be betting on the Crank Position Sensor. Some have had some luck by disconnecting the battery, disconnecting the CPS at the harness above the intake manifold, re-connecting the battery, cranking it with the CPS disconnected. Disconnect the battery again for 30 seconds, reconnect the CPS and battery and try starting it normally. Otherwise, a fubar CPS will just allow it to crank and crank and no fire.

Cycle the key a few times before trying to crank the engine. This will indicate low fuel pressure/weak pump if it starts.
How much gas was in the tank just before the cold hit? Have you filled it since?

What should I be looking (listening) for? I actually did that, not sure why. First cycle, I hear the pump run for maybe a second. Second time, pump gave a quick, very short, blip. Third time, no sound from pump. Still no start.
There's about 1/2 tank of fuel right now. Last filled up on Tues. morning.
