Car wouldn't start

[PowerSplash93]

Just like it says, I have had my mustang sitting for about 2-3 weeks, and today I went to start it and it tried but did not. It would turn over but not start. It sounded like it had no compression what so ever, but then all of a sudden it tried to hit. So then I tried to start it again, it made the sound and then started fine. Anyone had this same problem, the car only has 50,000 on it.
Thanks in advance
Matt

Does it have gas?

dose it have gas...
Check you battery with a volt meter.... might be a bad cell

I would say its either your battery or something is draning your battery like mine does. After mine sits for so manys days it is dead. Need to jump it a fews times before it starts to start right up again.

after sitting for awile it may take a couple of key cycles to build up enough fuel presure to start. As long as it starts normal now I would not be concerned.

Yea it starts fine now, yes it had gas and it has nothing to do with the battery, it was trying to start just sounded like the car had no compression. Oh well, maybe it was just a fluke thing.
Thanks
