  UPDATE UPDATE:: 10/31 - So last night I went home, defeated by a lack of engine knowledge and work space I put back the little of the engine i had taken apart to investigate this issue and called a tow truck (roadside assistance rocks). Everything went smoothly as they pulled it out of the tight parking garage and started to load it onto the flatbed. Then as the car was about half way up (turned off and not in gear) there was a very bright flash of light and a very loud bang from under the hood. I saw the tow truck guys go ghost white and start mentally preparing for a law suit. We threw the hood open and grabbed a fire extinguisher just in case something was burning but there was nothing. We looked around an saw no noticeable damage so we moved under the car to see if something was laying on the bed. Nothing. Then I went back up under the hood and found that the Upper intake manifold had blown off of the engine. This piece was what an SVT focus expert told me was likely the issue. He had instructed me to jostle this piece around to see if there was movement, which i had done an hour prior and saw nothing. My assumption is that between me shaking it and then moving the car outside into the cold it finally let loose and all the gas and pressure that was built up from attempted starts gave it something to explode. (im glad it didnt do this when I was checking it or I would have had to wash my pants and underwear after) So it seems more clear now why it wouldn't start... I still don't understand how the coolant drained out though? Any of you have any thoughts on why that might be caused by this? Could it just be multiple individual failures all at once?
