I own a 2001 Mustang GT. The other evening I got home and parked it.The next morning when I went to start it,it turned over but it did not start.It turns over ,but it does not start. Any ideas?

Possibly a fuel pump, have you changed the fuel filter?

engines need air fuel and spark, figure out which one you are missing

there is a schrader valve on the passenger front fuel rail, hook a gauge up. or cycle the key a few times and poke it with a screwdriver see if it has pressure

DRAGUL

Turn the key to on but do not try to start. Listen for the fuel pump. You should hear it prime.

What if you make a quick call to the dealer and see what they suggest. I am sure many people bring their cars with similar issues.

this is terrible advice

i know i wouldnt want to tell someone over the phone how to fix their car for free at my shop.

They will suggest getting it towed to them and paying 120$/hr diagnosis

no kidding, i get those calls all the time. people dont seem to understand that the dealers and their employees pay their bills by fixing cars for money, not telling people how to fix them for free. lmao

As a mechanic in another field,cash registers,I get that once in a while myself,and it's usually something where the customer can't describe the issue as other than being "broken".I'm asked to tell them how to fix this unknown ailment,if only so that the machine can run for a few days or a week....It's either fixed or it isn't.There are no short term remedies.
The same folks that want free advice,wouldn't give you a cup of water if you asked them.
