Hey everyone. I have a V6 01 Mustang, that recently wouldnt start. I found out it wasnt getting any gas and the fuel pump wouldnt turn on, so I replaced it. Everything is fine for about 2 weeks. Now yesterday I get home from school and get ready for work, and as im about to leave, it wont start it just keeps cranking. The same exact thing happened today.

Keep in mind that yesterday and today were about a good 80+ degrees, so im thinking the heat may have a problem with this? Since it started right up in the morning and at night when it was a bit cooler?

I have no clue what It could be. I havent checked to see if it was getting spark or not, but ill be doing that in a bit.

 

Well checked earlier, I AM getting spark. Im getting fuel also but it was weird about coming out when checking, like there was air in the system or something.
I never did change the Fuel Filter when I did the Pump (Stupid, I know), so could this be my problem on why its not starting?

 

Go ahead and change the filter, it could be possible that the debris is blocking a significant enough portion of the flow. Also, are you sure the pump is working properly???? Check the inertia switch as well.

 

I checked the switch in the trunk, thats fine. And I can hear the pump engaging when I turn the key so im positive that its turning on. Its a brand new pump so I doubt it could be that, unless its a faulty pump? But its at least getting some gas.

Its at my mechanic's right now, it started up this morning to and from school but I just went right to the mechanic after school. Hopefully this gets sorted out soon enough. This is my 4th car in just over a year, and im only 17....I just have the worst luck with cars.

 

Damn. No wonder your insurence is so high. You are the person cars to go to die.

Believe it or not my insurance isn't high at all, even after totalling my dads car last year (as you can tell, I've been through a lot with cars).
I just have a habit of buying **** cars. My last car was a 92 z28 w/ a reconstructed title, not the best choice for a daily driver.
I'm just hoping to get the stang running fine again since it's been the most reliable car I've had yet.
