1997 Ford Mustang V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a mustang 1993 with a 1997 engine.
I crank the engine and is turning but won't start.
I replace the ignition coils, after Autozone checked them and turned out bad, but still won't start.
I noticed that when the engine turns the "check the engine " light is on. Where is the port to check the codes? Could be the fuel filter? And where is the filter located?

If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard i

I gave you this answer for a start to check if you're getting the correct fuel pressure or spark-you didn't give me a chance. You can request your refund, I don't need it and GOOD LUCK!

BTW-I can close my eyes and fix your problem in a heart beat. CAPISCE!
