1993 - LX - Car ran great, no issues engine wise at all. Had some clutch issues, bled clutch, etc, nothing engine related. Started the fox, went around the block testing the clutch. Shut it off, started it back up pretty quickly, noticed on second start up it revved and idled pretty high for a minute and then just died. Waited and tried to restart, it acts like it wants to start but won't turn over. Almost sounds like its not getting fuel. No issues at all what so ever, drove great. Waited over night, same thing, wants to turn over but won't. Fuel Pump? Relay? Anything else it could be? Possibly gas gauge reading incorrect and no gas? Hasn't been an issue before but possibly?

Engine Thread 'Information that is Needed When You Post a "Car is not Running" or "Car is Running Poorly" Thread'

For the love of all car things holy when you are thinking about starting a thread that has anything to do with the car not running properly or not running at all please look at the top of this forum in the "STICKY THREADS" and see if any of that really useful information helps before you start typing away there JK Rowling.

Some basic things you need to start your thread with are the following:

What car is it? Most will be a Fox Mustang but there are questions on Fox power trains swapped into other vehicles.
What year is it? If it is a swap what year did the donor parts come out of?
If...
