My car has been sitting for over year, have broken back and clutch was fubared. Finally swapped clutch and PP out works great, went back to a stock clutch.
Now charged battery for 2 days hit the key no start, squirt gas into CAI/throttle body and runs, will run untiil I turn off than won't restart. I swapped the throttle position sensor and the 3 wire plug, thought that was the problem wire were all exposed and rotten. Wehn the car does start with help(prime with gas) is runs but when I try to gas it falls on it's face.Fells like when you have CAI off, will idle will throttle up slowly, but if I punch it it stalls and than have to prime again.
Any ideas all of a sudden this is my son's only transportation.

I call this car Frankenstang, 01 Gt with a 02 Police Intercepter swap

Check your fuel pressure at the rail. Sounds like the fuel filter is bad or the fuel pump is failing. They typically need at least 34psi to start, it may run with a little prime but wont be enough to start with out a prime and will fall flat when going wot.

Old fuel could be gumming up the system.

Had none to little pressure.
want to update and apologize for doubting you guys, it was the fuel pump, I bought the replacement electric pump, it's $100 cheaper only takes maybe 5 more minutes. But thanks for all the help, the Monster Lives now I have Mustang fever again!!!!
