Default Starting problems

I have a 91 Notchback 5.0. The car will start fine then when cold. but when it gets hot and I shut it off IT DOESN"T DIE I SHUT IT OFF it wont start randomly it cranks has spark and is getting fuel. New Coil, the timing is correct. this is gettin bad leaving me stranded I dont think its the module cause i turn it off it doesn't just die, i tap on th ECU no change sometimes it starts hot sometimes it doesnt by the way this all started after i changed my motor mounts could i have distrubed anything. HELP TIA

Default RE: Starting problems

just replaced the ignition module still having the same problem
this is my older chevy brother talking:

Have plenty of spark at the plug used an ignition tester, brought it up on tdc to make sure there no chain stretch which could effect the timing making it not hot start possibly, i'm not familiar with ford troubleshooting any other suggestions? I can smell fuel but its an intermittent hot, no start so i dont think the is fuel the problem and runs fine all the time it just wont start up Thanks

He changed the fuel filter when he did the motor mounts earlier this week. The timing hasn't been changed. There is pressure in the fuel rail, but I have to get an adapter for ford tomorrow so i can check the actual pressure.


The car ran fine until a day after he changed the motor mounts.

once agin thanks guys
