Hey folks my mustang has been sitting in the garage for two months and it wouldn't start. I found that the battery was dead and I replaced it. The car turns over but it will not fire up. I can hear the fuel pump turn on but not sure if it is delivering gas to the injectors. I have less than a 1/4 tank of gas. Is there a way for me to see if the fuel is getting to the injectors? What else could it be?

Since you haven't started in so long it could be floted I would try to keep cracking a few more times and for longer time and see if she will turn over or to unplug the fuel pump fuse and keep trying to crack if till all that gas clears out then plug the fuse in back in and and keep cranking i can't think of any other reason for the car not to start if it was only sitting for a couple of months and once you get it on let it run a little while and I would suggeste staring it up once a week

An easy but messy way to check this would be to remove the fuel line that feeds your fuel rail, have someone turn the key over and see if fuel is coming through the lines. Would suggest getting a bottle and sticking the end of the hose in to catch any fuel that may spurt out. To remove the fuel line, you just need to buy a fuel line disconnect tool for it
