newbe 94 v6 start up trouble

lavenderfrog81 · 05-17-2008, 05:29 PM

Ok I have a 94 v6 3.8 I have had it for about a month and I have not had any trouble out of it. It had been sitting for about three years when I got it. I threw in a new battery and changed the fluids and all was good. But then the other day I went to leave and the car started and then died just as quick. I am haveing a heavy smell of gas when I try and start it. I have replaced the fuel fillter and the fuel presure regulator. I am getting gas up to the fuel rail. But it apperes that I am getting to much to the two front cylenders on both sides. I pulled the spark plugs to check them and that is when we turned on the key and gas just came pooring out. I was told to try the fuel pump relay, but I can not find it in this car.
Does any one have any advice as to where I can look nexts for the problem? Any help would be good it has been down for about 2 weeks now and I have looked at every thing I can think of.
Please any help would be great!!

well start diagnosing everything that deals with the fuel system. I am not too sure about the 94 mustang but there is a fuel cutoff switch in the rear when the car gets in an accident it shuts off the fuel. Start there then try the fuel pump. The car has been sitting for three years so it could be a wide range of problems. Also, if you said two cylinders are pushing too much fuel, look at your fuel injectors. They could possibly be bad. Be careful when working with the fuel system though. Fires start pretty easily.
