1997 Ford Mustang Convertible 3.8L V6 won't stay started.

Asked by TrinidadSr May 29, 2018 at 08:07 AM about the 1997 Ford Mustang Convertible RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My son purchased this Mustang and been running fine, but he drove it on
Saturday and it just stalled.  I went to pick him up and he was able to get it
started and did get it back home.  He parked it and then it died out, then he
was able to start it again after about 5 minutes then done the same thing.  Is
anyone familiar with what the trouble could be with this Mustang.  He
checked all fluid levels are good, the engine light does not come on.  I'm not
sure if it is the fuel filter or fuel pump or what it could be?  Any help to point
us in the right direction would be most appreciated!  Thank you.

Hello - I measured the fuel pressure and was not getting enough PSI's. I dropped the fuel tank and replaced the fuel pump and the filter and did resolve the trouble.. Thank you
