2002 Ford Mustang V8 Manual 90000 miles

When trying to start the car the engine will turn over but won't actually start. This has occurred twice after having started and been driven within an hour or less.

Mechanic thinks that it is the fuel pump but since he has only been able to replicate the issue once he is not comfortable definitely recommending replacement. He has also noticed that the fuel pump pressue has been quite low but that only occurs in the mornings.

Any suggestions?

Lets do below for a start to determine if its fuel or spark related issue and get back asap.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 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, 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
