Default Engine problems. my car wont turn over. ??

If any other mustang owners have had the same problems as me let me know.. cuz i whent to 3 machanics and nobody can figure out whats wrong. ... i go to start my car, and it typically starts up fine, but randomly, it will decide not to turn over when i start it and then wont turn over for quite some time. I'll go to start it 4 hours later though, and it works. Obviously a bad problem cuz i don't want to get stranded haha. They thoguht it was the fuel pump, so i got it replaced and it still does the same thing.

If anyone has advice, or had this problem let me know. Thanks guys

I had this problem. One day I was about to leave for work and the damn thing wouldn't start. First it wouldn't even turn over (like the battery was dead) then when it did start to turn (after an hour or so) it wouldn't fire for a few more hours. It would do it like once or twice a week. It sucked cause I would turn my car off, go in somewhere and worry the whole time weather or not it would start back up that day.

I Just bought a new battery and cable connectors to the battery. Havn't had any problems since.

Yeah, i think mustangemd19 is on to something, clean your battery terminals, probably the issue, if it keeps it up, have the battery tested for FREE.
