[QUOTE="More Cowbell, post: 15765389, member: 173877"] Looking for help from anyone who has experience with older 5.0’s. I have a 1995 Cobra that I’ve been chasing gremlins on for a few months now. I bought it with 72,000 miles back in July. I’ve put 8,000 miles on it since then. A quick list of what’s been replaced as follows: - Air Filter - Spark Plugs - Wires - Cap - Rotor - Coil - IAC - TPS - TFI Module - Battery - Fuel Pump - Fuel Filter - MAF Sensor I had an issue a week and a half ago where the car wasn’t starting. We screwed around with it for a few minutes starting under the hood. I was messing with the wires on top of the cap and the coil and it would turn over but if you tried to rev the engine up it would shut off and die. Was able to get it to do that two more times with the same outcome. Then we moved to the trunk and messed with the inertia switch. It wasn’t triggered but we still pushed the button to ensure it was all the way down. After we did that the car started. It ran fine for about week after that. I figured maybe the fuel pump needed to be replaced because it did feel low on power sometimes, almost like it wasn’t getting enough fuel. So we replaced it. Looked at the inertia switch again and it looked like it was in working order to us (better than the other one we had on hand) and the car started right up just fine. I drove it home last night and parked it. Went to start it this morning and it’s now exhibiting the same things as it was doing a week and a half ago. It cranks forever but just doesn’t start. I played with the inertia switch (setting it off by tapping it and then pushing it back into the on position) but to no avail. The car will not start. Just cranks. Does anyone have any idea where to go to next? I can hear the pump priming when I turn the key and we're positive it's getting fuel pressure to the rail. I’m getting fed up with this thing because I just want to drive it and even that is becoming impossible. I appreciate any advice or pointers. [/QUOTE]
