1) 1999 Mustang GT v8 manual trans. 39780 miles
2) purchased the car about two weeks ago from a guy who got the car from his dad
3) car had sat for a year in a garage
4) the day the guy dropped it off he said he had a hard time starting it that morning, he thought it was because the gas was very low . so he filled it with (1/2 ways) with 97 octane.
5) we shut it off and it started right back up no problems , i drove it for a mile seemed ok
6) parked it in a garage for 2 weeks , not yet registered waiting for title
7) tried starting it yesterday , turned over but would not catch, checked the battery the "indicator light" had turned red , so i charged the battery until the light went out and read full charge. tried again same results
8) replaced all eight spark plugs , tried again same results, noticed that the battery had lost some charge, went to sears bought a brand new battery
9) car will not start !!
10) did a OBD II scan no trouble codes came up ?????
begiing to think it may be a fuel issue (pump) what do u guys think , i fit is how does one check , i am a little handy around cars but not really a mechanic
