I have a 2002 ford mustang that sometimes will not start. I have fire and the engine turns like it wants to start but won't. After a while of trying, I give the car some time and then it turns on. This last time, I had to wait 3 hrs. Before it would start. What could be wrong with my car?
thanks.

Do below to determine whether it's fuel or spark related problem:

Cranks but no start condition:

Fuel and Spark:
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
