How long after you turn it off do you try to start it and it does not start? Are there any sounds associated with the no start condition( engine turns over normally, wont start. Or, makes no noise at all. Or makes a clicking noise)? Answer these in a little more detail and we can help you more. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds slwar55 New User Jul 23, 2006, 3:49 PM Post #3 of 5 (2003 views) Re: 1998 Mustang Sign In It starts fine first thing but after driving even for a few miles it won't start again. It sounds like it is turning over normal. After trying to start it I will let it set for a couple hours and than it will start. way2old Veteran / Moderator Jul 24, 2006, 4:26 AM Post #4 of 5 (1996 views) Re: 1998 Mustang Sign In Well, first we need to determine what is missing. Fuel or spark. You need to install a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail when it will not start to see what the pressure is with key on, engine not running. Should be around 42 psi. You can also purchase an inexpensive spark tester at your local auto parts house to check to see if there is spark when it does not start. So when we get these results, we can steer you to your repair. You can go out and buy many dollars worth of parts and finally det lucky or do these simple tests and we can start it for you.

My 1995 mustang did the same thing while it was under warranty. Dealer had to replace the fuel pump. You can confirm this by hooking up a fuel pressure gage to the system with key on and engine off pressure should 35-40 psi and it should stay up. Engine running pressure should be 30-45 psi and fairly steady.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
