I just put a body kit on my mustang gt and for some reason now the car won't start

What hose-fuel line/hose? It takes three element of combustion for the engine to fire-up-fuel, air and fire-Which one is missing?

Its the one by the right rear tire it was connected to the back bumper and when I took it off the back bumper I didn't think it would hurt anything and I put the little black piece back on and it still doesn't work. That's the only thing I could think of, I didn't touch anything else

When you turn key to run position-do you hear the fuel pump for a few secs before it shuts?

I didn't hear it the first couple times I tried then I did and it sounded kind of weird like a high pitched screeching sound

Check the fuel pressure with a fuel pressure tester and report back your actual recorded readings with and w/o the fuel pressure regulator-also check the fuel pump relay and the inertia switch

Car motor would turn over with ease but would not fire in the morning. Later that day turned over a few times then started up and ran great. Took to local place and they said battery so put in new battery. Next day ran great to work but would not start again when ready to leave work. Finally started and ran great but afraid of being stranded. What do you think?

2000 mustang gt 4.6 that will turn over but will not start. Has sat for 2 mos. Or so and started fine before that. I have checked the 2 fuses for the fuel pump that I've found.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.

Hi I have a 2000 ford mustang gt and I was going home the car turned off kept rolling, wheel locked, brake wouldn't go down, gas pedal went all the way down and it wouldn't start then I waited and started back up it was fine but 5 minutes down the road it cut off again and didn't start. It also slips in to another gear sometimes. Someone told me its the timing belt I don't know but can you please help because I don't want to take it to get fixed and the people say its something else no one can tell me what is wrong it just rattles and ticks real bad. Please help and thanx for all you're help in advance

You dont have a timing belt. Forget what this person said.

You need to have the fuel pressure checked. It sounds like it could be the pump but you need it confirmed by a shop.

The wheel was stiff from no power steering and the brakes were hard from the vacuum not there from the engine.

Get a shop to check it for you and get back to us with there results, then we can give you an idea if there estimate of repairs makes sense.
