You may be out of luck with this check. I have a 93 with a non-turbo 1.6 and due to a non-start senario I knew the ign. module was the culprit. Being a master Ford/GM tech. and former automotive parts sales man at a local NAPA store, I took the unit out and took to every parts store around as well as a ford dealer. No one has a way to check this module to see if it is bad. Being that the car was made in Australia the local Ford dealers never botherd catering to soulving any of it's primary problems. If you suspect the module is the problem due to a no-start...the module is not cheap and trial and error may be the only course of action...good luck.
my son had the same problem & he could not find a module we replaced the whole distributor & it started but the dist. cost him over 300 dollars.
My '91 Capri had the same problem. It turned out to be a problem with something I had never heard of before. It's called a stator. I believe it is located in or near the distributor, and replacement fixed my problem.
It operates only when the engine is turned over due to vacuum/suction from the engine .....If not working properly, there will be no electrical charge to the injectors.

Assuming it is getting fuel and you have no spark, replace the ignition module.
It already has electronic ignition.
Here's a link to Midcomustang.com FAQ it tells you where all the sensors are located http://www.midcomustang.com/engine_emission.htmlANSWER 2Igintion Module or Igniter Assembly is located in the distributor... I have a PDF on how to change this!
first you push in your clutch and put your key in the ignition. then you turn the key clockwize until your capri springs into life.
Mercury Capri was created in 1969.
Have the ignition module in distributor checked.... could solve your problem (it solved mine!!)

Answer testing ignition modulenot all part stores have the ability to test ignition modules,a sure sign would be discoloration of the module or if the outside of the module has a softness to it if neither is apparent you could go to advance auto stores and they do have a peice of equipment to test your module, I used to work at a advance auto parts store
The Mercury Capri was produced from 1970-1994
