Default Engine Fires Then Dies

For the last few mornings I have had a hard time getting my Stang started. I will turn the ignition on and let the fuel pump set/pump up, hit the key and it sounds like normal starting, turn ignition to on/run and the engine dies. I can try to start it again and it fires everytime. When I get to work, I can turn it off and restart it with no problem.

It acts like the ignition is turning off not fuel starvation.

Any ideas???

Thanks!!!

Check your ground wires, I had a similar problem and it was a loose ground wire causing the ignition to kill.

Which ground wire? Was it at the battery or the many on the chassis?

Thanks-

I can't say for sure if this will work, but you might want to try disconnecting the car battery
for a few minutes and then reconnecting it. The computer will may have a setting out of wak.
I know my ford f150 would hesitate when starting out from a stop, evan after a complete tune.
I disconnected the battery and reconnected. It quit hesitating after that.
