Help! We have a 1998 Mustang and lately when you go to start it, it cranks quite a while before it will start. Someone suggested to my husband to just turn the key until the fuel pump kicks in and shut it off again; do this a few times - and it starts. So, now my husband is convinced that it needs a new fuel pump. I am reluctant to spend the money on this, if by chance there is something else causing this problem. Any suggestions??
