1989 Ford Mustang 5.0 No start but workaround
Starter/battery/alternator known good, no codes, clean throttle body, 210K miles.

Symptoms almost exactly like leaster1939. Cold (sitting overnight) start no problem, runs smoothly. Hot start no problem. Problem start after shutting off hot and sitting for a couple of hours.
Might take 6 attempts before starting. Workaround is to tromp on the gas pedal while ignition in start, and it catches and I gun it and its running fine again.
Another strange clue: one time I had it running with the hood open and I let the hood slam closed and engine DIED suddenly.
Like leaster1939, I was thinking ignition module.
What do you think?
Thanks.

Hey Ford Mustang is my favorite car. Had you watched a movie Gone In 60 second? The last car that Nicolas Cage stole was Ford Mustang which was worlds best car and even mine best car.

hi fc- I cant say what kind of help that was but....sounds like a fuel pressure reg or bad fuel pump..fuel pressure should hold in fuel rail for quite a while..then the pump should be heard pressurizing the system again...check for pump sound when key is on but not started...crank.it
