car wont start :(
 
I had to park my stang about 2 weeks ago b/c the transmission went out and i finally found a good place to fix it and i was getting ready to head up there to drop it off and it would try to start sometimes and others it would choke out or keep stuttering and then stall. Does it sound like it might be my fuel pump?
The strange part is just yesterday I turned it on and let it warm up cuz it had been so long since its been on, but it seemed to sound ok until i reved it up and it stuttered a little but never stalled.


Can anyone tell me what the stock gauges for the speedometer registers for a 1991 Gt Convertible. My speedometer is off and Im thinkin maybe its b/c whom ever had it before me maybe swapped it out cuz its 15 off and the position the hand is in while in my car is in the same spot as my moms would register when doing 55 but my would read 70. But hers registers only 85 mine doesnt.

Does the check engine light come on?

I'd be suspect of a bad connection with the Throttle Position Sensor, Mass Airflow Sensor, or the main injector wiring harness near the back of the engine.

Your speedo should go to 140mph.

I'd check fuel pressure and spark color. Good luck.
