88 mustang gt doesn't start but cranks over. I sprayed some tb cleaner in the tb and it stared rite up, ran for like 45 sec then it turned off and wouldn't start again. What could be the problem? Thanks

Can you hear the fuel pump cycle when you turn the key to the on position ?

Prime the fuel pump, look on your fuel line by the alternator. And press the "tire stem valve" and and gasoline doesnt come out from it,. Your fuel problem is before that...kink in fuel line or fuel filter

If you actually have fuel pressure and flow from the schraider valve on the rail you need to check for INJECTOR PULSES. Use a noid light for this. If it does not pulse you next step is the TFI PIP in the DIZZY. Without PIP you will not get injector pulse. BUT you have to check the FUEL pressure at the rail to be sure you are building @ Least 35 LBS. Sometimes the bridging hose from the pump to the tank adapter splits open and reduces the pressure so low the injectors will not SQUIRT. A quick test of the injectors is to have someone crank it over and feel the injectors with your fingers to see if they are operating. THEY CLICK and you actually can feel that. But a NOID light will confirm injector pulse & PIP operation Good Luck!!
NOTE without testing the actual fuel pressure with a gauge you do not know if it is high enough to allow the injectors to spray fuel. Just pressing the schraider valve and seeing fuel is ok but not a positive test by no means!
