PUSH START!!! The battery is obviously good.

Hadn't thought about the immobilizer. If it IS that, you might as well push it all the way to your destination; it won't start w/o a good key.

Ditto the "let us know". This ones interesting. Sorry you're the guinea pig.

I just got back from having the car dropped off, and I explained everything to the service guy and his guess was the starter. I should hear something definite today sometime. Thanks for all the feedback, I will post what the problem is as soon as I know.

Joolander: After hearing the fuel pump I did notice a single click from the engine bay, so you may be right.

TheB1GDude: That's a good suggestion. Full of oil...lol

Wolfie: Seriously...A key can fail?

Riptide: Didn't think to try that. Does that still work on modern cars?

Sounds like the first time I tried to start my car when I was about to test-drive it.. the clutch needs to be pushed down to the floor ALL THE WAY! If you don't really have the clutch pedal FLOORED, it sounds like a dead battery/starter problem.. STILL happens to me occaisonally.

Yea you can still push start of course, you didn't know that?

I think it is the starter personally.

I did know that could be done on older cars, but I honestly didn't think you could on our cars. I learned my one thing for today .

Definitely sounds like it is, not uncommon for them to crap out.

From what I've read the security system on the Mustang is actually pretty good, the key basically makes a connection that disarms the security, I say that would be the most unlikely thing wrong with it but it could happen....

I thought I saw it happen on a friends Purgeot but it turned out to just be out of oil which is why I also suggested that!

I'd guess on your starter being gone - you been suffering from any bad weather recently?? If the temperature suddenly dropped something might have cracked... on one of my first cars the distributors cover cracked, moisture got in and rusted everything up causing the car not to start.....

with my roommates car, we all thought it was the starter until we tried it on the incline of the tow truck's ramp just for the hell of it, and it started. then we figured it was the fuel pump or lines having too much sediment in it or something like that. turned out to be right

it was an odd day
