you’re the biggest help ever, i pulled a dent out for my wide body and the pull of the weight turned off the fuel pump
Glad you found the video!
Great video, I took some of your advice and got my daughters car started right away after two hours of messing around with it!
How did you fix the problem?
My mustang was blowing some black smoke and running rough so I put in some HEAT dry gas and Techron and then kind of pushed down hard on the corner of the trunk about 5 times to help get it mixed into the gas. Next thing you know car just dies. Won't start at all, just like in this video. Sure enough, it was the inertia switch! You just saved me a ton of $$$ of the tow and diagnostics fee!! Great video!!! Thanks!!!
Glad you found the video!
Life saver just fixed my car, unplugged the mass air flow plugged it back in. Running like nothing never happend. Saved me hundreds
Aleah Lenard Try some of this if you want ua-cam.com/video/Lsfe6h8jZ0k/v-deo.html
Wow samething unplug mass airflow !!!!! Plug back in and Car runs like a new one
Video was clear and concise. Definitely narrowed down my troubleshooting. Thank you!!
"lightly spray" and then he shoots it in like a fire hose, lol
godfrey14 “Do as I say, not as I do.” 🙌🏼😅
I noticed that too-but he only sprayed that amount which was ultimately required. Btw, I’m watching this video from Alaska where it’s currently -9F. The engine of my 2003 Subaru Forester turns over but won’t start, I’m not very mechanical, and it had to be (temporarily) abandoned at the gym parking lot. It’s tempting to buy some Heat fluid, starter fluid, etc…or just bite the bullet on a tow.
Follow up: It started up the very next day. The engine struggled at first-as if fighting to pass fuel & water content. Once the engine warmed up it ran great. Long story short, I drove it to a shop for an oil change.
Did you ever have to fix the fuel pump?
Thats what i was thinking
I just wanted to say Thank you. I took my pump out, and my needle on the dash would always point to the middle, and pulling out my fuel pump I saw that my tank was full, and so I bought a whole new assembly I hope this helps my stang start!
Sounds like you have it figured out, but here is a video I did on that as well ua-cam.com/video/kjWlSmw3ufc/v-deo.html
Excellent instructor ! Keep up the good work you have a gift.
Thank you 🙏🏼
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I didn't even know there was such thing as a inertia switch.
5:50 is when this video helped me thank you 🙏🏽 mines was up do to hitting a curb and for a week couldn’t figure it out until I came upon this video appreciate it 💯
A lot of good points. Clears up a lot for us. Appreciate the videos as always brother. 😊🙌
You are a great teacher. You speak at a perfect teaching speed.
Thank you! 😃
I just bought a 2004 Azure Blue Mach 1 two weeks ago. Ran great. Did the battery to the trunk relocation, plus a big 3 upgrade. I go to start it for the first time and no fuel pump noise… 12 volts getting to the pump. Cranks but doesn’t start. This video is exactly what my Mach is doing. Always something with these cars 😂
I thought it was my pump for a while turned out to be ignition switch.. that energizes everything ..tilt wheel beats on them also make sure it isn't the anti theft ..fuel in fuel rail ?? To reset anti theft just leave key in on position for 10 minutes
Don’t be discouraged, especially if you are keeping the car. Had one for 15yrs starting out as a plan Gt, still have 2v motor, but now makes 600hr and is as tame as a v6 and will make a stock hellcat driver think he broke something. The 2v is the way to considering at this point you’re going to be able to do yours own maintenance. So you don’t needed the motor out for repairs. The cobras motor is the same size. Just get beef it up and get the air and fuel in there. Blow the snot out of it. Truly Extreme
My Mustang had a similar problem! It was in the fuse box! Thank you for helping me!
Similar issue here what was wrong with fuse box
Good video like always! My issue was the coolant temperature sensor; it took me forever to figure out. I should have realized earlier bc my temp gauge was spiking at H despite it being under 32 degrees outside, and the car not being started for hours 😂😂
Ok so my cobra has been having overheating issues and I'm almost positive I've got a blown head gasket into the exhaust (so I think I'm getting exhaust pressure pumped into the coolant system) I stopped driving it for about 2 weeks now and it will now turn over but not start, I've verified that it has no fuel in the rail ( can't hear the pump, I'm deaf kinda) so why was the sensor stopping you
It worked ! You are a life saver! I have a 2000 Mustang that has been with me for 24 years and you just save my BABY 😂!!
Friend Danny Thxs alot... I was able to start my car( Mustang 2004 v6) by pushing in the shutoff switch. Your cooler than Chris Fix....
Shutoff switch?
What is the time stamp?
Thank you mr I learned a lot with this video very well done🙏
do you know what i might be able to do if my car cranks but wont start only sometimes. It will work most times then out of nowhere wont turn on and then turn on again its very inconsistent. I took it to many mechanics and they all tell me they cant say what it is unless i bring it in with it not turning on.
Wow,,, Thank you for your video.. It was very helpful... This video is gold.
Trino Ponce I’m so glad you found it. I have 700+ videos like this, so please subscribe and check them out if you haven’t had the chance! Thanks!
Good information mind is doing the same thing but didn't now where to start looking at but have a ideal where
I think i may have a fuel pump / filter issue going on. This Lexus sc400 has been sitting for 4 years. I went to start it and it cranks and cranks but does not turn over. So i drained the old gas and put 5 gallons new gas. It started up. It idled perfect for 30 minutes just fine nice and smooth. Then while at operating temp while idling for 30 minutes the temp gauge rose slightly then the car died. What do you think is going on?
When your mustang restarted after giving it the starting fluid it reminded me of this little story.
I have a friend who has a ford van. He couldn't get it running even at the shop. I pulled the fuel tank to check the fuel pump and connections all was good. i cleaned out the fuel tank but still no joy. Finally connected the fuel pump directly to the battery let the pump run until it stopped and it started right up. My friend was so surprised. Turns out the fuel pressure switch was not letting the fuel pump run until it had fuel pressure. Kind of a c
atch 22 hah. I never thought about a inertia switch, still don't know if that was the problem. it was years ago.
The fuel rail pressure sensor does what you were saying as well it appears. They won’t start if it’s bad and everything else can be good. Thanks for commenting
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage you're welcome Thanks for the video's
I'm not one of those guys that can't admit they're wrong or don't know something, so don't quote me on this, but if I remember correctly, holding the pedal to the floor actually stops all fuel to the motor and doesn't flood the car, but pumping the pedal would.
This was done so that you could clear the cylinders if they were flooded because even if you're not pressing the pedal, fuel is still obviously flowing so that the car can start. So holding the pedal all the way down while cranking actually cuts the fuel flow.
Just thought I'd throw that in there for anyone that may not have known. Every bit of info helps. Without guys like this making videos, so many people would be at a loss with their car because not everyone had the big bucks to take it to the dealer or these shops looking to rip you off.
Nice video. I have a 96 4.6 Mustang GT and have found the fuel pump does get weak over time and eventually will die after about 80K miles and needs to be replaced, and use only OEM parts for that pump.
I installed a SVT focus pump in my mach 1 (I have an install video for it). Sounds funny to put a focus pump in, but it’s actually higher output and still a ford part
Danny Johnson How much did it cost? Can I put in one of those in my 03 Mustang GT?
@@angelgjr1999 yup you can get aftermarket pumps for latemodel restoration or american muscle. The most common is Walterboro. The SVT Focus and GT Supercar pump can be found on eBay and they are a beast. Another option is the 03 04 terminator tank. You won't need anything bigger than 255lbs unless you're running 800 hp or 20lbs of boost lol
Bad/malfunctioning Kenne Bell Boost a Pump wired pre-FPDM seemed to be causing issues I had. It would crank but not start. As soon as the wiring was reconfigured to eliminate the Boost a Pump, it started right up.
It can be frustrating when it won’t start and you feel the reliability has fallen. Glad you got it!
Thx for the tips always learning new issues with the car you awesome 👍 owesom
Good video. Like you Im not a big fan of starting fluid, spray silicon is a much better alternative as it lubricates the cylinders unlike ether that tends to dry them out.
Hey Danny I believe I am having ground issues with my 02 GT maybe you can give some insight. Car idles fine but bucks and sputters when you let out of the clutch and the gauge needles go up and down. Can you tell me ground locations please, my Haynes manual has been a bust. Recently changed the starter and did an A/C Compressor delete so that area for sure, along with other ground locations would be helpful.
Thanks for the help.i like your mustangs.

I’m buying a Redfire 2003 gt with 20k miles on it can’t wait to get it gonna look sweet next to my 2014 ruby red gt
lb0193 Cool!
Could you please add the cam shaft position sensor video link to the description of this video. Thank you
Did you check the fuse or relays to the fuel pump?
So if it was the module would it start without a belt but not with one I’m running into this problem if the belt is off I can get it to kinda idle and rev up but it’ll only start with starting fluid with a belt on and won’t idle
Great video !!!! well done !
Wish I was able to better hear what the bad fuel pump sounded like but overall this is a great video. My mustang has its days where it starts and days when it’s as I like to say “sleepy”😂 it’s been sitting cause it was my grandfathers but I believe the fuel pump is getting weak. Hopefully replacing the pump will make it work
Here are my fuel pump videos. 1994-2004 ua-cam.com/video/UhgkGXLSkl0/v-deo.html

Have the same starting issue when engine warm
2006 Nissan Sentra 1.8 S taught it was the fuel pump but it makes the noise when on
Took my 2007 Mustang to get new balancer and was told i need to replace my fan connector which they did at the shop. 8/19/21 drove my car home then on 8/20/21 then to store and car wouldnt start,waited for about 40 minutes then the car started. Today is 8/22/21 went to store less then a mile from my home car started no problem drove back home now its not starting. What might be my problem?
When my mach 1 is warm itll turn off as soon as i start it, only when warm. Ive changed TPS and Iac. Any idea what it can be?
I have a 2004 GT and there is no Schrader valve. How do I check pressure without it?
Change the pump for peace of mind anyways,might as well get an upgrade too while at it. If you have a chipped car with a dial switch control like my fox(sct chip) and the cable is going bad it will also not start but turn. I replaced my cable and also the dial incase it was either or.
Great and informative video! Although I have no idea why it started without spray afterwards. The "theft" light was clearly on at the beginning of your video and that really was your problem.
No, the theft light blinks constantly anyway. My problem was a bad fuel pump that would still work with a kick start from starter fluid
ua-cam.com/video/kjWlSmw3ufc/v-deo.htmlsi=TVFm4hbfReBBy_Rk
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage ..... My bad. I thought I had seen it blinking with the ignition switch on. After a quick rewatch I see that I most certainly was mistaken. Again though, great and informative video.
Would the anti-theft light cause it from not starting? I’m having trouble starting it
What if the fuel pump is running but the fuel pressure is only 10 PSI? I installed a flex fuel kit (eflexfuel) and everything was fine for several days with 44% ethanol and the fuel pressure was 40 PSI. When I got back from a trip I added more E85 that got the ethanol to 61% and several hours later I had problems getting the car to start and run and found that the fuel pressure dropped to 10 PSI. I replaced the fuel filter but that didn't help. I don't know if something happened to the 2 year old pump but it's not rated for E85. I was wondering if the FRPS has gone bad even though it's only 2 years old also. I guess it's cheaper to "shotgun" the problem by replacing the fuel pump with an E85 rated pump and/or FRPS rather than having a service shop diagnose the problem.
What if the ccrm got wet cause the plastic wasn’t under the car could that prevent the car from starting?
Can you tell me where your main battery ground connects to. I got a 99 get I'm working. And it's connected to the ac compressor. Under a fastener bolt. Also the ground on the back passenger side valve cover that comes out by the back fuel injector wire. Plz and thankyou
Great video thanks alot
My 2000 Grand Prix has been hard to start. Took it to AutoZone and they told me it’s most likely my Ignition Control Module. This morning it just won’t start at all.
Okay I have an 01 GT and fuel pump sounds, crank but no start, no fuel sprays from rail, battery drained, instrument cluster stays on even though no key or power on. What’s wrong with mine? Theft system light no blinking and tried changing ignition lock.
Mine started up with just Starting Fluid… I rode it around for 30 minutes after that. Parked it for a whole day. It fired right up. Started it up the day after that so far so good.
Mine did that when the fuel pump was on its way out ua-cam.com/video/UhgkGXLSkl0/v-deo.html
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thanks for the reply.. I’ll be sure to change that when the time comes. Great content btw, subscribed!
My 1999 ford mustang v6 won't start at all and ive tried most of these, what will happen is me and my bud will try the starter fluid and it will start then die out after 1 second, we pressed the bicycle looking valve to check the pressure and sometimes gas will come out and sometimes air will, after we try and turn on the vehicle and turn it off we will smell bad gas, same with the valve smelly gas will come out when the gas does. Do you think it might be the pump? Or the fuel filter? The red button in the back is pressed down and everything looks plugged in it sat for maybe a year and a half and I have no idea whats going on.
Overall it will
Start for 1 second/ with starter fluid but then shut down
When I put the key in the lights will come on.
That's it
A response will be GREATLY appreciated
Yeah, it’s most likely the pump. You can rent a fuel pressure test kit from parts stores and see what the actual pressure is. This just happened to my brother and it was only 5psi. The pump was bad. He replaced it and he’s good to go now ua-cam.com/video/UhgkGXLSkl0/v-deo.html
SICK MACH 1! I have an 04 GT and it cranks but doesn't start. This happened after i installed a SVE throttle body. Changed the FRP sensor and it started up. Took it to a shop because when I bought the car the rpms would hang at 2,000rpm when nuetral and would drop and the car would die. The shop put an air filter in the pcm and got rid of the hanging rpm. Took it home and now it cranks but won't start again. Changed the Cam, Crank sensor and nothing. I hear the pump go on and the red button in the trunk is pushed down. Also I noticed that my A/C wouldn't throw cold air. Any suggestions would really help me man. Thanks in advanced
You might consider the constant control relay module (ccrm) since it controls a lot of that, including the ac ua-cam.com/video/PfiN6U-FqMQ/v-deo.html
I have a 98 Mustang Cobra I have a quick question my theft light is not coming on at all do you have any ideas please get back to me thank you
Time to drive it around and burn some of that fuel while its running so it will be easier to drop the tank if the pump is bad.
I have a 99 mustang GT. I am having an issue starting my car after it rains or when it is really humid. I know the battery is good. Does anyone know what may be causing this issue?
You can try hitting with your hand the bottom of the fuel tank at the same time someone is trying to start the car to vibrate the fuel pump , that will sometimes get the pump to work.
Change fuel filter first maybe that’s a starting point. I have a 04 Mustang GT automatic dark shadow and I really like the car and I have saved a bunch of money since I own it 7 years and looking for 7 more and when it brakes down I start throwing new parts at it the way a football quarterback throw a pass or pitcher throw a baseball, most things I can do my self
Hey so!! About 7 months ago. My dad has a Chevy Silverado (still does). His car was towed to the front of the neighborhood...we were able to get it back by charging the battery and jump starting it with starter fluid. It worked perfect!! Now we have to get it up and running and we haven’t touched it since, we added 5GAL of fuel, new battery since old one was fully dead, and even jump starter fluid wouldn’t work. If I remember right, there was fuel coming out the fuel rail if I pressed on the valve & I don’t recall hearing the fuel pump just like in your video. Would my next step be to replace the fuel pump??
If you have pressure at the rail the pump should be working (it could be weak and stand repacking). I would next look into the crankshaft position sensor (I’ll post s video I have on my mustang- same concept and I beloved easier to access on the silverado). ua-cam.com/video/IPn3eiJ8k18/v-deo.html

Hey Danny, do you know anything about the flashing THEFT mode ? Had gone off road pretty bad on racetrack and the car wont start because the THEFT is flashing on dash. Having it towed to Ford dealer but wanted to know if you had any clues. Could be CCRM perhaps as the car did bottom out on the passenger side so maybe that module got damaged.
get a obd2 scanner and clear the dtc.......car was immobilzed
Same thing happened to mine to reset anti theft just leave key in on position for 10 minutes ...and I also had crank no start didn't hear fuel pump turned out to be ignition switch ..tilt wheel beats on em
Question, is there an inertia switch in the front??? I had a small front collision and wondering. Recently it turned over but didn't start. Eventually it did. But now yesterday, it turns over but doesn't start. If it's the inertia switch, does it just stop working? Or can slowly go bad? Thank you
The switch is only in the trunk and it pops and won’t work. It would just need to be reset but doesn’t go bad slowly

Mine still won’t start. Failed the noid test on all injectors. Any ideas?
I have a Audi TT that cranks but won’t start. The dashboard says check the gas system but I hear the fuel pump prime, I also checked the fuel rail & it sends fuel. Could it be the injectors that are clogged or fuel pressure?
It’s not likely the injectors. For all to be clogged it would have to be something major like sugar in the gas tank. It’s probably some kind of fuel pressure sensor or computer related thing. ua-cam.com/video/dsWRInBSDZs/v-deo.html
What do I do if my fuel pump works and that red buttons is checked and I checked everything my car cranks I sprayed staring fluid and it turns off then turn off
I just recently put a freshly rebuilt 98 cobra 4v (forged pistons, rods & factory forged steel crank) in a 2001 cobra I bought that had a blown rod.
Just tried starting the car today and noticed I have a slight leak on the driver side fuel rail (aftermarket). I heard a slight popping noise coming from the engine as if the timing was off (not 100% sure but a reputable engine shop, that I always use built the engine and timing should be good).
In my menu years of experience, even if there was a fuel leak, everything should sound normal (no popping sounds), am I right?
There's not much difference in the 98 cobra and 2001 cobra engine and the ECU should pick up the slight changes.
I'm sure I'm prematurely asking this but any idea why this popping sounds may occur if the engine is "new" (rebuilt)?
The battery did die while I was doing the motor swap and I charged it for a night and even hooked up the charger while I was trying to start it. I will check for spark soon.
Is the popping once when it starts or constant? The 01 is coil on plug and the 98 had coil packs and the intake manifold runner control (IMRC), so there were some differences. Any plugs that were not connected (like the IMRC)?
I have an 05 mustang. My fuel pump primes, and I've changed the fuel filter. You guys recommend I change the fuel pressure sensor?

Wires to the oxygen sensors were oil saturated and my nephew put shrink tubing over wires, but fuses still blow. any suggestions? Thank You.
The wiring to and from that relay must have a split somewhere causing the short. You might try a continuity test
ua-cam.com/video/-BUzm-OeGhE/v-deo.htmlsi=PtItwrnRSbw9jTkP
could it be the fuel pump relay? how would you test that- is it in the ccrm?
It’s not likely, but possible. The relays in the ccrm are soldered in, so it’s not common to replace them but replace the entire module. It would be the last thing I would consider at this point

Can you help with my question?
I have a 1998 Plymouth Breeze it was stolen last week on the 24th and within 20 hours the cops found it abandoned they drained it as in drove till it died drained it. So got a can added 5 gallons to it and still will not start. The fuel pump kicks on. The fuse on the fuel relay is not bad. The fuel line that is like the tire guage I pushed the button it leaked a little bit at the first try then nothing It's in park since it's a automatic the battery I did drain I'm a girl so yeah I killed all power. Got a jump and still just cranking out not doing the complete turn over to run. When the cops took me to my car I noticed the hood was not fully closed is there by chance they where able to remove a part by hand that would stop it from completely starting. I'm also asking because we tried for 3 hours to get it running googling things and watching videos we can covered what I guess is possible the next step was to tow it to get a diagnostics test. The funny thing is I went yesterday with a new relay for the fuel pump just as a added hope for it starting and I got a can of starter fluid just to try and my other added hope and when we got there on April 29 the the car was gone again the neighbor had seen it at 6am that morning when I got there at noon it was just gone. So why is it my 3 hours of attempts and I got nothing but they swing by and it runs for them to take off with it for theft number two. I'm almost 40 years old and I have
Zombie Mom check the coil pack, ignition coils, might’ve done something. Or pulled it out. Also check if the battery is on tightly. What my professor said.

I just got a 03 cobra, which sensors take on the road that are known to fail?

One thing that kept my 2004 mustang gt from starting was my computer went out thats located on the passenger side kick panel.. the reason I knew it went out is because when i turned the key to turn it over and over the rpm guage didnt move at all..and had no injector pulse to spray fuel in the motor.

Nude Hunter805 check for vacuum leaks by spraying (lightly) starter fluid around the engine bay as it idles and listen for the rpm to rise. Check the intake system for any loose joints
I put a new battery, starter, and alternator on and it still not cranking. It’s starting over but will not crank. It was setting over a year and I had to pull the motor to change the timing chain guards and everything is checking out but it just won’t crank
I would look at any fuses related to the ignition system, check the fuel pressure at the rail, and even look into the grounds (one right by the oil filter, the one on the motor mount stud. It must not be getting fuel or spark
A friend of mine has '99 Mustang GT convertible that he rarely drives, but keeps a battery tender on it. He went to try starting it this past weekend and engine would crank but not start.

It should be in the 30psi range
My car didnt crank so i replace the starter it work then it did the same thing so i put a new battery still womt crank up just one small click what do u think it is

My car lights and wipers and radio work when i have it on, but when i try to switch it start every turns off and theres no sound?
SlowMotion If it goes complete quiet, no sound or anything, it’s either the battery or a loose connection for the battery. Try jump starting it ua-cam.com/video/qCrvvHg4ivg/v-deo.html
SlowMotion Take a look at this. My neighbor just had it happen and it was just loose ua-cam.com/video/wvalNMYHVIE/v-deo.html
i bought a mustang gt 01 convertible in april. I parked it in city garage since oct. when i tried to start it. the battery was strong and then went dead. it is a little tough to jump the way it is parked. I dont know how old the battery is. should I buy a noco jump charger and charge it up or buy a new battery.
I would remove the battery, have it tested, and possibly replaced. You can also charge it while it’s out and more convenient ua-cam.com/video/DuY4ZVHm6t8/v-deo.html
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thx. NJ here. I went pumpkin picking lol and put it in the garage at that time. Mid Oct. car sat for three months. should a good battery hold a charge for three months? Batteries come and go. not a big deal. $72 at aap. should i pay for a noco jump start item? I also have a tester but dont know how to use it just yet. Have to read the instructions. Is alternator next? I replaced pullies and tension arm which is a dry run for alt replacement. idle darts any suggestions? will check battery date tomorrow. comes with a sticker and numbers embedded as well no? welcome to the world of classics cars. thx for ur help.
Some cars have small battery draws that will drain the battery over a month or so. My mach 1 is like that. If that’s the case just charge it. If it’s an older battery it may not hold a change
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thx danny If you were down to you last 100 bucks. would u buy a new battery of risk it and buy a noco jump it and drive it to charge?
how do you test the fuel pump relay which i believe is in the ccrm?
Yes, it’s in the ccrm but it’s soldiered in, so the best way is to listen for it to click and activate, but replacing the ccrm is the better option. I’d only do it if you’re certain the fuse and pump are not the issue ua-cam.com/video/PfiN6U-FqMQ/v-deo.html

Hey Danny, I have a 2000 gt that just cranks. The car has fuel pressure but what seems like no spark. Could the crank position sensor or camshaft position sensor cut spark if they are bad?
Yes, both of those or the fuel rail pressure sensor
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage I’ll get to it, thanks for the reply! Subbed!
Here is my crankshaft position sensor video ua-cam.com/video/IPn3eiJ8k18/v-deo.html
And camshaft position sensor video ua-cam.com/video/EkTZcOcBTYE/v-deo.html
I just got a 99 Dakota and it cranks but never starts the first time, but it normally starts second time. Is there anything I can do to get it to start the first time round?
Bolt Studios I would try putting jumper cables on it to see if that helps with the initial start. If so it may be battery related (it takes a lot of power for the starter and ignition system and then may start easier the second time around when the system is primed). Next I would consider the fuel pump and filter may be up for replacement
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage alright thanks
I got a mustang and I tried all that stuff and nothing worked but mine is doing a much slower crank abd it sound to be letting some kind of air
Hook the car up with a set of jumper cables so you know it has good battery and see what happens. Sometimes a dead battery overwhelms the starter combined with the fuel system and ignition system and it cannot all do it at once
Just bought a 2002 v6 stang and the car starts and drives fine but it won’t start sometimes. Also has a rough idle some times kinda weird situation, Any suggestions?
I would say weak fuel pump, or bad front oxygen sensor(s)
Dude I appreciate you getting back to me so fast! I’ll get those replaced ASAP and get back with an update 💯✊🏽

I bought my 01 convertible gt automatic last year. It started on the first key turn all last year. I stored it in the municipal garage in November. Have not touched it since. I recently tried to start it in march and battery dead. it was NINE years old. I replaced it today. It cranks but doesnt start. Last year the idle was wildly darting at stop lights. I have some skills as I got my daily camry's check engine light off by pluggin in a code reader and getting the error researhing it on google and youtube and replacing the MAF and PCV valves. check engine lights off now. I see so many sensors on the mustang I am a little overwhelmed. Any advice?
I would try what’s shown in the video, starting with the fuel rail shrader valve to see if it had fuel pressure. Storage can kill pumps with the ethanol in the fuel that gums them up
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thx danny. I am a little overwhelmed with all the stuff you talk about. you are great for helping us. will collect my thoughts and keep u posted. thx. for ur help and such a quick reply.
