98 mustang cobra
my friends 98 mustang cobra.. mostly stock except gears. anyway when he tries to start the car it wont start. were assuming its a fuel problem, if you turn the key off and then to the on posistion a few times 3 or 5 then try to start the car it will run for about 3 minutes then it starts to die out. sound like it has a miss but i think its lack of fuel pressure, eventually after stumbiling for 1 minute or so it stalls out and stops and wont start agian untill we mess with the key.
my other question would be could this be a computer issue.. i know that when the motor is running cold it runs rich and idels higher. i was wondring if the computer was going into lean condition and causing this problem. is there a way i can trick it into thinking the motors cold ans see if this helps.. other then pull the wire to the sensor cuz i figured that but i didnt get a chance to mess with anything much yet.
anyone have any ideas to help figure it out. also theres a new fuel pump..pickup and i checked codes...it reads that the o2 sensors are bad but could that be because of the lean condition from the computer? or is this a faulty fuel pump. thanks guys
