not starting

[clubamericalara]

its 2,000 miles into my mustang EB ... and it will not start. :frusty: like seriously.. this is BS. no i dont have any electric mods of any sort on the car that could cause this to happen. Yes its cold but that is not an excuse. I use 91 octane 100% gas. this never happened on my "POS" hyundai tiburon. I'm calling roadside assistance.. hopefully they figure this out.

Does it sound like a dead battery? Or is the engine trying to turn over and it just cant. Maybe you left a light on overnight and it killed the battery?

its trying to turn over but it cant.. it does not sound like a dead battery.

Yes, check the battery.

Ouch, good luck with that. Keep us posted on what it turns out to be.

Modern cars can flood--hold down the gas pedal while cranking

have you personally tried that on a push start, like holding the gas pedal while cranking? the concept of a push start car makes me feel helpless in these situations.

anyways.. i called the dealer, they said call roadside assistance. roadside assistance has had me on hold for about an hour and 10 minutes. i had to hang up because work was starting to pick up at my job. oh boy. this isnt how i wanted my first mustang experience to be like.

thanks that worked, however now i am getting a check engine light.

does anyone know what the stock air/fuel ratio should be at for the EB?

I'm glad you were able to get your Mustang started, clubamericalara. I recommend making an appointment with your dealer. Send me a PM when you do so with the current mileage, your best contact number, and dealer info; I'll see how to best assist.

Oh man I feel your pain, I'm pretty sure that I have been having the same problem as you on my GT, I don't even wanna drive my car due to it shutting off completely randomly when I'm driving.

WOW! That's terrible and a HUGE safety issue!

 

[clubamericalara]

everything seems to be okay now, check engine light went off later that day. hopefully i dont see these issues again.

I kind of miss the feeling of having to massage the gas pedal and the choke to get an engine running on a cold day in old cars.
