2005 V6 Starts but dies in a few seconds
#11
So a bad alternator could cause a no start problem? I have a pretty strong battery though. Funny thing is it will start the first time you turn it over then die in a few seconds. Any subsequent tries it will not. Starting to think maybe it is fuel related. My wife bought a half tank of gas about 10 miles prior to the initial stall. I tried to siphon the tank but there must be a check valve in the filler tube. I am not sure how to drain the system safely.
Ps: Propane comes in handy :P

I'm dealing with this exact same thing what was your problem? I have thrown a lot at it, new throttle body, maf, crankPS, cam POS sensor, new fuel pump new filter and new thermostat housing..... I'm dying can't figure it out

How did you fix this? I have a 2006. Crank no start. It will start first try after hours of sitting but died immediately.
Not the fuel pump, fuel driver module, fuel filter, or fuel pressure switch
New battery
I have spark. Shop changed the spark plugs.
Trying to pull injector rail off.
Also going to try to do a compression test.
I have no codes. Just died, like it ran out of gas. But I had a full tank
Sure would be nice to know what other people found

Fix with mine
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this problem I am having with my 2005 Mustang V6. It just died on my wife and after towing home I cannot get it to run. I thought maybe it was a fuel filter so I changed that with same result. It will start but only run for a few seconds the n dies. Feathering throttle does not help nor does giving it gas. Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks
Thanks
do not by a cheap one off Amazon.
that fixed mine with the same issue.

Went out to start 4.0 2005 Mustang convertible this evening.
Started yup really rough. Like spark plug wires crossed. NO CODES! Fuel press av. 38 to 39 psi. Took wife's car to doctor. Three hours later I started it up again. MUCH smoother.
When revving it was smooth, but started to miss at idle at 850 rpm cold.
Missed less as I warmed it up. When it reached full temperature, it didn't miss at idle again. I suspect MAF needs cleaned or coil pack.
Any suggestions or past experience? Thanks!

I know this is a super old thread but it saved my sanity! Thanks everyone for their input. I replaced the fuel pump first— NOPE.. Came here and saw the MAF. Replaced that and VROOM— Car started up. Check engine light came on and is throwing the fuel rail pressure sensor as code but it’s starting up like a champ. I also replaced the fuel filter and lord knows it needed it too. I’ll replace the fuel rail sensor now as well.
Anyway—all that to say THANK YOU to the internet gods and those of you who contributed to the fix.
