You guessed it....

If you're reading this, you are reading yet another post about my miserable $300 Mustang.

Today:
Got home from school, decided to take Mustang to auto parts store to do in-car alternator check. As always, you have to jumpstart it, because the battery will have died since the last time I drove it. So, I get it hooked up to my other car, climb in, and (most of you can guess what happens next) it wouldn't start! I checked for fuel (yes), spark (yes), and that all the hoses/lines were hooked up (yes). I let it sit there a while to let the battery charge using my other car. Climbed in again and, no start. Same as always, the darn thing cranks over perfectly.

If I haven't already taken your ideas, I would love to hear from you as to what you think the problem is with my car. Thanks!

all im gonna say is what do you expect for $300 its gonna have a ton of bugs and demons to trace down, did you try pressing the gas pedal down while you cranked it?

I know I was going to have some problems, just not this many!
Yes, I did push down on the gas pedal when I tried starting it.

All you need for a 4 stroke internal combustion engine to start is. SPARK (at the right time and strong enough to jump the plug gap) FUEL( correct amount) And COMPRESSION in all cylinders and ( normally above 130 LBS). And have it crank at its designated rpm. And it will start. ONE IS MISSING

Have you checked the timing? Do you have good plugs, plug wires, and cap and rotor good?
