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...

@justin82
Always put heat sink compound on a TFI module. Failure to do so just guarantees that it will fail again quickly.

Maybe
maybe not
i'm sure jrichker has a crystal ball, after all I think he wears one of them pointy hats, anyway he sure is smart but even he cannot predict the future, last I heard the crystal ball was on the fritz, you would think the ball would have told him before hand. You're just going to have to wait and see. Or you can pull it off and clean it then spread some of that clear magical stuff on there and put it back together, and it still may all go south the next day, you just never know.
Think I need more coffee this morning.

I would drive it.... I once bought a foxbody, did a quick once over and drove it home. Once home I inspected it and found the rear calipers were bolted on but the calipers had no brake pads...at all. That was fun.
