Some code readers are available for around $40.00. Autozone will pull the codes for free though.

Take it to your local autoparts store. Most of them will pull the codes for you for free. Then at least you will have a starting point.

Haynes manual describes how to pull the codes using nothing more than a paperclip.

go to www.fordfuelinjection.com and check out the "Getting Codes" section.
I tried just to link it, but it would not work for some reason and I am too lazy to figure out why. Good luck.
