Brent,
Just wondering if you still have the car and if you have any progress pics
if you have been working on it...? I still kinda miss it! On another note,
I did finally get another 5.0 engine for my Bronco. Not installed yet, but
have been whittling away on it. Thanks again for setting me straight guys!

Anyone have any ideas what might cause intermittent non-starting of this car. Started it, test drove it, loaded it on trailer, unloaded, ran it several times. Let it sit for a few months and now it won't start.

I think more info is needed on what the car is doing or not doing.. If the car does crank try sprayn carb cleaner at throttle body , if it starts you have a fuel issue? pump /relay/elect connection?.... if not it may be spark ??? dist module, ign switch ?
Check for fuel psi at fuel rail port by pass valve cover , check how strong the spark is at coil/dis.

hope some of this helps

Check to see if you can hear the pump running when
you turn the key on. That's what it was the last time...

Yeah.....unfortunately I was alone when trying to do this last.....so the carb clean trick in throttle body was not possible, and neither was listening for the fuel pump, however, with that said, I don't recall hearing it. Most Mustangs you can hear the pump from inside the car with the door open. It sounds like it wants to go.....cranks and cranks just won't fire. I was going to try replacing ignition module on the distributor, but with the SSP oil cooler lines...it is not an easy 5 min job like on a regular 5.0. I might try ordering a new relay....maybe the relay is working intermittently, hence why I don't recall hearing pump come on. Where is the fuel pump relay located again?
