1999 mustang will not start
I have a 1999 Mustang 3.8, I drove it last week and had no problems. The car was parked for about four days and when I tried to start it up it would not fire. The engine was turning over, but not starting. I tried jumping it just in case the battery was low but that wasn't it. I listened a couple times to make sure the fuel pump was kicking on. The first time I heard nothing, but the second time I know I heard it kick on. I then changed the fuel filter, but still the same thing; engine turning over, but not firing. Next, I changed the plugs and wires, and cleaned the throttle body. It is starting now but will not stay running. It will idle for 5-10 seconds then die, or if gas pedal is pressed it dies. I am thinking I should change the coil since changing plugs and wires got some progress, but I'm also wondering if the fuel pump is going bad and just hasn't quit completely.
Any ideas?

My bad
Sorry, I'm new at this. Never been part of a discussion forum before, and I now realize I posted in the wrong place. Won't happen again.
