My mustang was running perfect but my gas tank was almost empty before we went on holiday.
Came back home, tried to start but it did nothing because of the drained battery.
Normally it is hooked up to a charger but didn't want to leave it unattended for 3 weeks.
So hooked it up to a booster and it started but sounded really strange.
Range was only 2 miles. So I went to the gas station with another car to fill up some cans. Tank was filled half after that but the strange sound stays.
According to my AFR it runs lean.
Checked the injectors and fuel rail and they seem to be ok.
Checked the fuel filter (didn't have a spare to replace it) but nothing really dirty coming out of it.
Couldn't test pressure but according to my SCT the pressure drop is at idle between 38-40
I don't get any DTC codes about this.
I'm using the GT500 Dual pumps.
Could there be dirt in the pump itself?
Drove it around like this hoping it was only a minor dirt thing and maybe it would go through but it didn't. Engine got a bit hotter that usualy but it went 216F max.
Any advice on what to try?
