Engine Performance problem
1997 Ford Mustang V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a mustang 1993 with a 1997 engine.
I crank the engine and is turning but won't start.
I replace the ignition coils, after Autozone checked them and turned out bad, but still won't start.
I noticed that when the engine turns the "check the engine " light is on. Where is the port to check the codes? Could be the fuel filter? and where is the filter located?

Hi brunocordella, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Lets start by doing below and comeback with some testing results we start here

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard i
