87 Mustang GT
I have a strange problem somewhere in the fuel delivery system. The problem is that on hot days (above 75 degress) when I drive the car for more than 20 minutes or so, after I shut the car off, when I try to start it again the fuel pump will not turn on. Thus the car won't start. After it cools for a while I turn the key and hear the fuel pump turn on, then it starts fine. In 12 years I've had the car this has been an on going problem going back about 8 years. I have replaced the fuel pump twice and had a short fixed once. What could be causing the fuel pump to not turn on? (fuel pump is in the tank) Thanks.
