You have the 2.3L N/A engine I assume. There is a electric air pump in the LH fender which pumps air into the exhaust with a cold startup. You will hear or feel this. It will shutoff relatively soon I believe.
What is the history of engine oil in this vehicle? Hiqhway or city miles: dyno? change interval? We have seen a number of vehicles where the engine oil has turned to goo.
If the oil pressure is low, the hydraulic lifters might not be pumping up.
Turn on ignition, do not start. Warning lights now on. You should see a low oil pressure light as well. The pressure switches for these seem to be failing in great numbers. So check that out. If no light, switch is not closing with low or zero oil pressure.
