New to the group. I have a 93 mustang with the 2.3l engine. It turns over but will not start. I have fuel pressure at the shrader valve and hear the pump kick on. I also have spark. I am most experienced with cars before computers but know my way around an engine. Looking for ideas of where to look next and troubleshoot. Looks like previous owner threw alot of parts at it and don't want to continue that way.
93 mustang will not start
- Thread starter ole80grit
- Start date
Did you get the car as a non-runner?
First order of business is to give it a shot of starting fluid, if it starts then it's a fuel issue, if not, well you know.......
EFI systems need verification of things like fuel pressure, just because some fuel sprays from the schrader valve does not mean enough pressure.

Have you tried to pull codes from the ECU? Even if the CEL (check engine light) is not flashing there can be codes as the CEL only flashes for emissions related codes.
Ok, I gotta keep remembering it's a 4 cyl 
Hummmmm.........tried to start when it got a snort of either
here's some things that I'd look at, compression comes to mind first, plugs new? Copper plugs, the cheap, everyday common plugs, anything else is wasted money, I'm wondering if it needs a new rubber band (timing belt)or it was replaced but not setup correctly

Apparently it's a common issue.
