Trouble codes/check engine light....if you have a handheld tuner or know someone who does you can hook it up and scan the car for codes

update: just got it running found out it was the rubber bushings in the cap on the fuel pump that plugs into the pump. was not getting any pressure to the fuel rail. changed those and it runs great now. only thing is you can't not buy those parts new( I was told by two ford dealer) don't real know if its true or not? Got the parts from mps autosalvage in statham ga . the guys there were great just gave me the parts for free.thanks for the help guys.
