When was the last time you changed your fuel filter?

Next time, turn the key on, but let count to 30 before starting the car. See if that makes a difference.

I have a 2001 Mustang Bullitt and a friend of mine has a 2002 Mustang GT automatic and we both had the same problem.  We found out that there was a issue with the factory fuel pump and had to get new ones installed to correct the issue.  This should fix the problem.  It fixed ours.
