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

Were you trying to make a point?

That those codes aren't preventing the car from starting?

Where you been?

dumb question, idk....would this issue be related to the explorer intake I had installed?

General karthief · Jul 25, 2019

The 'no starting' issue? I doubt it, check to make sure all the grounds on the engine are there. 3 of them on the engine. One on the inner fender panel between solenoid and battery

I am the guy that wrote "]Cranks OK, but No Start Checklist for Fuel Injected 5.0 Mustangs model years 1986-1995". Doing the guessing game or throwing parts at a problem instead of using a time proven resource just doesn't make sense. What have you got to loose? How badly do you want to drive the car?

Probably TFI. Has happened a few times to me. All of a sudden, no spark. Doesn't happen as often now that they moved it off the distributor. I still keep a spare in my toolbox though.

That sucks, intermittent troubles are the hardest.

I've used it and don't even own a Fox (just helping a friend)
Guess, buy and check is a amateur approach.

Thank for you vote of confidence; I hope to be a help to all those who want to enjoy fixing and driving their Fox body 5.0 Mustangs.

alright, finally started the checklist....started with #1....the starter solenoid.....I jumped it and the engine started to crank, but it being light out...I couldn't see a spark, I should assume there was, correct?

justin82 · Jul 31, 2019

I did happen to pull the dist cap...I saw a lot of black

never assume. Spark is bright enough to see in daylight. You should also hear an audible snap.
pics of the 'black ' in the distributor?

justin82 · Jul 31, 2019

yes I do believe I did hear a snsp....I'll get ya pics

justin82 · Jul 31, 2019

if this posts twice, sorry

General karthief · Jul 31, 2019

That's just good old fashioned spark scatter. Scrape it off the prongs on the cap and the end of the rotor, clean the button on the cap with brake clean on a rag and put it back together.

As plug wires and plugs die the spark scatter gets worse, your don't look so bad.

Engine soooo
