Just a few days ago my fuel pump went out. so i order a new 255lph bbk pump and a 130 amp alternator with wiring kit cause i had charging issues. soooooo...... the parts came in and i installed them along with a new fuel filter. but now for some reason the car wont start. it sputters for a second right when i turn the key but wont start. any ideas? and its an 89 mustang gt manual

Run the Cranks But No-Start check list in the Technical/How-to Sticky at the top of the forum page.

ok the fuel pump spools when you turn the key. but stops spooling when you start cranking the engine. is that normal? i had my head right next to it and i had my buddy crank the car and the pump is not spooling while the motor is cranking.

ok we have it narrowed down to fuel system issues...... what should i check first? we did replace the pump and fuel filter. what should we look for and what mistakes could we have made?
