The fuel pump primes, but the injectors don't fire!

If you're not going to run it long enough to get everything up to temp and dry out all the condensation you just created it's better to leave it alone.

Im not 100% on the ecoboost and coyote motors but on the previous mod motors turning them over on the starter does NOT properly lube the top end. Either prime the system under pressure (can make one for $20-$30 using a bug/yard sprayer) or just fire it up.
