I bought this mustang but I can't get it to run. I can get it to turn over
but doesn't have any fire. Please tell me what to test and how.
Thank you

Check to see if your getting spark and fuel. You did not state how many
miles/kilos it has. We need more info.

you crank it?

it was common for the electrical part on the distributor to give out
that they had the big recall on it. ford replaced half of it one day
and car drove fine. next morning, engine would spin - no start - ford
towed in it and replaced the other half. no charge to me, so i was only
out of the time of having no car.
most of those parts have be replaced through recalls, yours may have
missed it.
hope this helps

I have a 93 without a distributor (twin coil pack?) Does this year

no... you have the Distributorless Ignition System, it has it's own
problems.
If you're having a problem with your ignition... search the group with google
