Ok. i was driving home from work and my tach dropped to 0 , i got to the light and it would crank over but would not start.
I have replaced the Crank and Cam position sensors along with the Igntion Control Module, my coil is fairly new so i didnt see any reason to replace it. I have checked all the fuses and relays. i am [censored] out of ideas, oh yeah my car is salvaged and ford would not do the wiring harness recall because they are jerkoffs. pls help -muchos grassass

There is a ignition module on the firewall that could be bad too; only on the 95s. It is by the power steering fluid reservoir. First pull the connector, with the ignition on, check for power going to it. If it is not near 12V the relay that feeds it is bad. Brown one in the box by the battery feeds it and the pump. Same model relay as the horn so you can swap them. When you crank the engine does the Check engine light come on and then go off a second later? If it doesn't come on at all the EEC is dead. If it comes on and stays on when cranking the EEC is not receiving a trigger signal from the crank or cam sensor.

found my problem it was the ecu memory fuse , the clip came off the bottom connector and the pin fell into the box below it

Good find!
