If it's part of the computer controls it will almost ALWAYS show up when you do a computer diagnostic test. Borrow, rent or buy a code scanner for your Ford and see what it says.
hi I have a 1986 chev celebrity also, fuel injector does not get signal to pulse the injector so it wont run unless fuel is being pured down the throttle body, ideas??

I've seen this before on GM fuel injected cars.. It could be that your fuel injector solenoid circuit has gone onto shut down due to a shorted, or very low resistance injector solenoid. Check your injector solenoids with an ohm-meter. They should be around 16 ohms..

Bad fuel pump? Bad pump relay
What time is it? It's time to go to the Grand Canyon! Adventure time! Only at the Grand Canyon! The Grand Canyon, " You won't get off to a rocky start on your memories." I have to do a brochure on the Grand Canyon and you have to put a slogan in it. These were some of my ideas.
check your engine compressions
