Thanks for the replies and suggestions. And I'm relieved to hear the gas wouldn't gum up that fast in the system. I've had gas gum-up on me in my tractor after sitting for a few months and had to pull the carb and clean it out, but again, different type of system and different conditions.
As far as the ECU goes, Tbh, I don't know what's in it. I just bought the vehicle this past August and got only limited info on what was done to it by the prior owner but not a full list. I had it Dyno tuned back in September by local mustang shop when the injectors were upgraded and yeah now that you mentioned it, I'm surprised the plugs weren't replaced either. At the time though I was forking over a ton of cash to rebuild the rear-end (it had a spool in it, some suspension parts were worn out), and my only guess is that with the exception of having to replace the ignition coil and upgrading the injectors, it was making good and consistent power on the dyno, so they didn't do any work I didn't ask for unless it absolutely needed to be done. I can't really complain about that. I will do the plugs when the weather breaks up here. But my fuel gauge is stuck at FULL, so I'm guessing the fuel sending relay is shot also; while that's getting replaced, I should do the fuel filter too. The list just keeps growing.
I will try starting it with the carb cleaner as suggested.
Thanks!
