when i turn the key it turns fast but wont catch and try to fire it just spins and spins.

Do a google search for "Ford OBD1 Codes", and you'll find many many guides to pull the codes. You only need a paper clip to do it. If you don't want to do that, the Innova 3145 code reader can pull the codes and it costs $25.

I am not a fan of this write-up but it does work: Ford ? OBD/OBD2 Trouble Codes
The Diagnostic Data Link should be located near the driver side hood hinge.
Or as Ian suggested invest in an Innova 3145 Code Reader.
