Hello,
As i promised on "welcome wagon",
I own my Mustang since 1997. I bought it brand new from a Ford-Dealer in Alamogordo/NM. Over 20 years this car never let me down. I made the German Inspections and did the TÜV an AU (Save Inspection an Emission Inspection to do by german law every 2 years). Please excuse my english. If i don´t know the words i will try to explain it. Hopefully you will understand my "english". And please excuse my grammar. My french is not good neither.
A couple of Month ago my car making troubles to start right away. It took a couple of tries until the engine runs. Sometimes it will start and then died imediatly. But it always started. And when ist started it runs fine. No power loss, no idle problems. I diddn´t showed this problem always...just from time to time. I didn´t payed much attention to it, because it will starts ...sooner or later...What i did so far? Well, i told my mechanic to look after it. He said no problem could be found. Battery is brandnew, fluids are chanched, connections are checked (no leaks or animal bits), all the connetions are cleaned, fuses checked, fuel pump checked, gasoline checked, everything was fine. The problem could not be reshow at my mechanics place. Then i figuerd out the starting problem causes more often when my trunk is loaded with heavy stuff, like beer cases, or grocery goods. Then i emptied my trunk and my car will start right away. Even in winter-times when its kinda cold. Today i parked at the groccery-store, slightly uphill (nose/hood up) and my car won´t start. It cranked, it cranked well, battery is full of charge. The engine just went on and died imidiatly. The engine shaked, like not all of the cylinders are running. I tried to start a couple of times. Crank, engine shaked, run on some cylinders and died. I went to a mechanic right near the store and asked for help. The mechanik looked under the hood, everthing looked fine. He said he hear no sound from the fuel-pump. I tried to start again, crancks fine, but engine chuckels and died. It looks like the engine gets no fuel. Then we pushed the car to an even place, with slightly downhill/nose down and the car will just start right away...with no problems...i drove home with no problems, no power loss, no problems driving uphills, left or right, fast or slow.....I have no idea...When my car is at the mechanic, the problem will not occur.....starts fine....we tried to swing the car up and down...the car will just run fine......30 Minutes ago, i startet my car with no problems, fired up right away with just 1 Cranck.....I am running out of ideas.......I thought it might be "crash-switch", in the trunk, passenger side near the tail-light.....or the fuel-pump, or the fuel-filter....but nothing makes sense......Can somebody else help?......Cursing, yelling, stomping at the car didn´t helped neither......
Greeting from Germany...
