yes car, truck is fine.

So I have a 88 Mustang 5.0 with 54,500 miles that mostly sits in the garage. My wife had to take her car to the shop for a check engine light. Last night I pull the stang out of the garage and follow her to the dealer. Park it in the driveway last night. She gets in the stang this morning, starts it up, puts it in gear, it dies. (occasionaly happens when cold). She goes to restart it, and it won't start. It cranks, but no start. I haven;t listened fo the fuel pump yet cause my first thought is spark.(ignition module?)

Your thoughts?

How do I check that?

Anyone wanna help push it back in the garage?
 
TFI module?

that would be my guess

Had an 87 Merc Grand Marquis that did that. not too hard to change out, but you do need a special wrench to remove it from the distributor. (costs about 5 bucks at Autozone)

Check it by seeing if you get spark. if no spark, that is what I would look at.
