Ummmm yes they do.... its in the engine bay near the driver side strut tower. Its called an EEC IV port, aka OBD1. Its the same port used when use use a jumper wire to make the CEL flash in the instrument cluster..... :P

I got this code.

3 1 8 5
3 1 8 5

When I got the key on, I bought a code scanner from autozone. I pluged it in and I turned the key. It flashes really fast while beeping, then it beeps 3 times slow, then pause, then beeps 8 times, then pause, then beeps 5 times,
then pause, then it repeats.. I hope I am doing it right, I can make a video but I don't know how to post it...

I think its codes 31 and 85.

I USE the snap-on MODIS all the time to run koeo/koer tests as well as other things, The Mastertech with the correct program card in will also do it JUST fine, grant it, these are not harry homeowner autozone scanners but to say scanners won't run Koeo/koer tests is incorrect, I also have an old OTC one that'll do it too. to say pre94's don't have a diagnostic port to run tests is just false ford has been using that same eec connector for quite some time before the standardized obd 2 connector.....what do you think I use to pull codes on my 89?? and from what connector??.....
