Does it crank but no start or no crank issue?

Cranks OK, but No Start Checklist for Fuel Injected Mustangs

Cranks OK, but No Start Checklist for Fuel Injected 5.0 Mustangs model years 1986-1995 A word about this checklist before you start: it is arranged in a specific order to put the most likely failure items first. That will save you time, energy and money. Start at the top of the list and work...

The checklist should get you fixed up. First thing I do is listen for the fuel pump to prime ( it's a given that there is gas in the tank, just ask CMA). If it primes (does not continue to run) then I mat the gas pedal and crank it. If that don't work I hook it to the dump truck and tow it to the shop! (Just kidding) do the checklist, it will fix you up.

Those codes aren't really anything to worry about.

67 usually if clutch not pushed in during code read. Code 85 is Charcoal canister

Car should still run
