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

does your tach bounce when you swith ignition on? Then does it bounce when you crank it?
please read the faq about how to post a question then come back with more info.
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

Ah, the infamous TFI module problem!!
I have a 93 without a distributor (twin coil pack?) Does this year suffer the same TFI module problem?

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 and use
