Default My GTS ..still isn't starting right.

https://mustangforums.com/m_3967288/...tm.htm#3967288

Here's the original post, reason I made a new one is when I bump my old one with new info, nobody seems to care. Anyways...
I picked up a new Blaster TFI Coil, new MSD Superconductor 8.5mm wires, and a new cap and rotor.
Put in everything and the car started like a charm every time.
2 days later, it's having a hard time starting again. Not nearly as bad as before, but it's still not great.

Anything else I should try? Pickup coil?

Thanks!

So it's just cranking over, then firing?
Is the crank really slow?


Pickup coil is possible for what i have read so far.

so, when it's having a hard time starting does it crank longer than normal??? how are you sure it's an ignition system problem and not a fuel pressure problem??? have you checked the fuel pressure for leak down at hot soak and or cold soak??? is it hard starting only after sitting for a while??? or everytime????

It cranks just fine.. it just has to go for a few seconds before it actually starts..

I'm not sure that it's an ignition problem.. that's just what i've been hearing a lot of. Decided it was about time for some new ignition parts anyways.

How should I check the pressure.. tap into a rail? or is there another way? Don't really wanna spend a lot on a gauge for fuel pressure where can i find a cheap one?

Thanks for the responses!
