so this morning I was getting ready to leave and started my car and two seconds later it died, I tried to start the car again several times and wouldnt start.

car has gas a little more than half way ..>>is a 91 mustang 5.0 standard<<

BUT I always pump 91 and yesterday I was short and pumped 87

made it to work and back home safe with no issues at all until this morning

I get fuel pressure, fuel filter is good & clean

& it started again after several push starts but dies again [Confused]

does the swtich of fuel has to do anything?

thanks for your time and see how it turns out any help? thanks [patriot]

take your coil wire off frist check to see if it has spark if it dose coils is good, then take the plug off the number one cliyinder check to see if that has spark if it dosent it means that you have bad tfi. mines did that last week, if you have the money go buy a new cap, rotor, tfi and plugs and wires,

holloa at cha boy ill help put the stuff on if your nere by [patriot]

Yea it will do it when the car warms up I think it's two screws holding the module on the distributer got to pull the distributer first though it's like an uncommon size like 5.5 mm if I remember right try that first
