Car ran fine one day, not it will crank but not

Car ran fine one day, now it will crank but not start. it is a 1987 mustang gt. it has a new alternator and battery. the fuel pump turns on, but there is no fuel spraying out of the schrader valve on the fuel rail. when you turn the key on 2 or 3 times to let the fuel pump purge, the car still wont start but there is a little pressure in the lines when you bleed the valve, a little gas sprays out, but not much. my buddies 5.0 t-bird sprays fuel out of it. is this a pump? filter? pressure regulator?? help no e-mail address allowed so if you can help its boisefirewood @ gmail.com

Your fuel system requires 35-45 PSI. If you don't have this pressure in the line then your fuel filter or fuel pump is at fault.

93 mustang dies no apparent reason

Not sure if you fixed your stall issues but....have you looked at the pip signal on your fox mustang? My 1987 mustang gt was doing the same thing it got to the point where the car failed to start. It was the pip sensor located in the distributor. I removed the distributor and took out the pip sensor replaced it with a oem replacement re-timed the car its ran great since. I also went to the boneyard and grabbed a few tfi and installed one on my distributor most mechanics suggest you do this when you replace the pip sensor. Hope this helps someone dealing with this issue on there 87-95 mustang gt. Took me about 45 minutes

95 GT mustang wont start

You ran the car out gas and there's air in the system.. Not the Throttle Body.. Expel the air from the system.. 1. Raise/Support your hood.. 2. Turn your key to the ign position, (listen for the fuel pump to come on).. 3. Go to the fuel rail(s) and press the Schrader Valve, (looks like a tire air valve), until only fuel comes out.. (use safety gear, especially for eyes) 4. Rinse/Collect excess fuel before cranking (careful around electrical connections)

My car was running great, i killed the car ran inside and back out about 10min later and it would not start! Replased the fule pump, still will not start. 2008 mustang gt

Is the fuel pump getting voltage and ground ?
Are you getting spark at the plugs ?
Could be a crank sensor or relay among other things.
