i have a mustang here that has beeh sitting for about 1yr and i put some fresh gas in it and fired it up, it ran pretty good but was stumbling when i gave it gas so i cleaned the maf and it ran great drove it around the shop once and shut it off.
now it wont start at all just cranks dosent even try to start, i have spark and fuel presure.

any idea's on what to check? i am thinking it has to be something simple becuase it was running great, then i shut it down for 5min and then nothing [Confused]

It could be flooded. Did you let it sit for a while before restarting? Another thing to try is pushing in the gas pedal while cranking it.

exactly what it was, it fired right up this morning and has tried to flood a couple times today while i was working on it.

i am thinking a dirty sticky injector, it did sit for a while.
