The stang just won't start. It's turning over but doesn't seem to take fuel, my air filter's clean, i've got spark, I filled the tank with premium gasoline just now, and yet it still won't start. What's my next step, should I pull the tank, and check the pump and filter? Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks fellas

Is your pump making noise when you hit the key? If so what is your fuel pressure at? Stick a guage on the the fuel rail to see if it's priming the system.

Once you prove out its getting fuel, or not...I would say the TFI module should be tested...Its not uncommon for them to take a dump...and its not gonna start if its bad...most autoparts places can test it....

i thought if you unplugged that module it would still start but run like crap. which would prove or not prove thats it.
