Ok, this morning I'm late to work and my mustang won't start! I had to crank it like 5 times til finally it went. I thought I was outa gas but no, wasn't that cold either. I've never had that kinda trouble with it. Just another event to share.

my pos does that, but I have a GT and it's been deemed to be a normal operating bug for us small dick guys. It does the 'not wanting to turn over' thing for 2-3 seconds and then it turns over every time. Change your fuel filter and run some techron from chevron through it and it will do it less often.

It was the price you paid for the extra power the night before...Quit farting in your gas tank!
