So yesterday my fiance' moved my mustang to park next to his car so he could work on it. Then, shortly afterwards (he turned the car off and made sure nothing is left running like normal.. so no battery drain) I go to try to start it and there's no lights, no ding, no clock from the starter and...

Thank you in advance for your help. Over the past week or so, my car sounds like it wants to start but doesn't engage. Yesterday it started and worked fine, even last night when the temperature was really cold; it had a little trouble and eventually started. We have checked the battery...

Hello, I have a 1968 Mustang with a six cylinder engine. Recently there has been work done on my engine to correct idle and timing. The engine is running well and better compared to the last couple of years. Everything was running fine until two weeks ago when I went to get gas and I tried...

Hey guys was hoping to get some help on an issue I'm having. And this forum has done wonders for me in the past. Hopefully I get that lucky again. I have a'68 Mustang with a rebuilt bored '73 302. I only get to go work on it a couple of days a week. I had just finished putting all brand new...

When I get in the car to start it, the PATS is clicking. The starter won't turn over until I hit the unlock button on the key fob. It does this again when I shut the car off and it sits for 3 to 5 minutes. As soon as I hit the unlock button, everything is ok. I took the car to the Ford dealer...

I have a 65 coupe with a 1970 model 250 ci straight 6 in the past couple of days I have put a manual choke on it. it seems to be having more and more trouble starting up. it was never this hard to start before I put the choke on it. in fact I killed the battery trying to start it this morning...

I have a 66 Mustang 289 and I'm hoping someone can help me out with a problem. Around a month ago I was driving and my car was beginning to stall about 5-10 minutes in when driving. I thought it had something to do with my carb so I got that rebuilt (Edelbrock) and changed all my fuel filters...

This is an issue thats been going on for a while now. It starts fine in the morning and I usually do not have issues with it restarting after I've driven it to work or school and let it sit. A few weeks ago I ran into trouble after letting it sit for about an hour in 75-80ish degree weather. It...

I recently got my hands on my grandpa's 1965 Mustang. It had some technical issues, but those were all fixed. Unfortunately, I ran into another one, and I can't figure out the issue. The car sat for 3 days without being started, and now the engine (6 cylinder) won't even crank. I know it isn't...

So now that I've gotten my 65 coupe in a reliable condition I'm starting to nitpick everything else. My car has always seemed to crank excessively before starting. Ive recent rebuilt the edelbrock 1406 carb and my spark plugs are in good condition. In the morning it takes a while and starts very...

I've had issues with my car not starting lately, starts clicking when I try to start it, and then I lose all battery power. The battery voltage is fine (12.8) and the alternator seems to be working most of the time. The first time it happened I figured it had to do with a bad ground at the...

i've got a 95 mustang gt that wont start unless i remove the spout connector...i dont know what's going on! the timing seems perfect considering the mark on the balancer isn't visible. but the power, throttle response, etc all is great. once i put the spout connector back in, it runs...

My 98 mustang (V6) has been having problems starting from a cold start. It turns over fine but will not start for 5 seconds or so. It does better if it has sit for a very short time (< 10min). I checked the fuel pressure with a pressure gauge. When I attached the gauge to the fuel rail the...

My 64' starts on a dime when its cold. When it is warm I have to turn the motor over for a while. It sometimes floods or kills the battery. Any tips?

1967 Mustang 6 cylinder points and condenser . Me and my brother are having a problem with the mustang. It runs fine around town, but stalls out and won't start after about 100 miles. I don't think its the miles as much as the time on the road. It acts like its not geting any gas. I tried...

I got my 90 mustang GT in on a good trade. It has a BAD problem with starting. Almost like its got a VERY bad carb on it. BUT its all factory and fuel injected. Only thing thats been removed is the Smog Pump and EGR. problem is it literally takes almost 40 seconds of holding down the starter for...
