I have a 2003 mustang gt that I store in the winter. Last week I was able to get it started and it ran for about 2 minutes then it stalled. After several attempts to restart the car it would'nt. I thought their might have been water in the gas so I bought some dry gas and filled the tank with premium and it still won't start. Any ideas?

Get a starting fluid/ether/better off gas in a spray bottle and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
