Here's the situation: my 1999 Cobra had not been started in 3 weeks. The car had power and cranked well but wouldn't fire. I checked for fuel pressure after cranking (within 5 seconds of turning over the starter) and there was none. Just to see what the hell, I sprayed starting fluid in the intake and turned it over, the car fired up and never died. Turned it off, fired it up again no problem. Idling fuel pressure was 30, and that was yesterday today it fired like normal, what gives? I believe this is an indication that the fuel pump is on its way out but Im not sure. The car has 110k miles and minor minor mods, help!?!
