Hi- Sorry to hear you have a problem.

!- the Fuel pump is inside the tank.
2 The fuel can dry within sealed units like the fuel filter.
If you are getting fuel past the fuel filter then I would get a can of WD40 and spray 3 to 5 seconds into the breather - intake. Then try to start the car. If it fires or tries to run OR runs as long as you spray then you know for sure it is a fuel problem. Sometimes the fuel will work it's way past the blocked a dried unit causes - enough to get it home to where you can change out the filters.

As a TEMPOROARY FIX - - you might get a 2x4 about 19 inch long. bang it GENTLY [ to not bend the fuel cell] on the bottom of the tank. Sometimes sitting makes the fuel pump develop a flat spot and do not want to turn without a little help. This doesn't always work but often it will 'get you home' to where you can do a more through fix.

I hope this helps - please RATE ME - if this helps at all.
Thanks

Gary

1995 mustang wont start already changed fuel filter and pump is working is trying to start but wont

have you actually checked your fuel pressure? the pump can run but they have a filter sock on them inside the tank that can get clogged. Check the basics; fuel, air, spark, compression. Couldn't hurt to check your codes too, just in case something's in there.

2001 ford cobra wont fire has been in storage for 2 years put new battery in it still wont fire up under 2000 miles on it

You need to remove all of the fuel from the tank and lines, then replace with fresh fuel. Today's gasoline, especially those with any percentage of Methanol in them will not stay in storage very well past 6-8 months, sometimes less in bad weather conditions.

Won't start after storage

How long did you store it? Gas goes bad in as little as 5-6 months, if it fires with starting fluid then you need to drain the tank and fill with fresh fuel.

make sure to have a fuel pressure test done to it, it must to have a least 35 psi of pressure, also see if car is equiped with map sensor if it does unplug sensor and try to start the car, if start replace map sensor
