No fuel pump pressure/bad wiring

Asked by KnappMustang Feb 27, 2016 at 09:43 AM about the 1988 Ford Mustang GT Hatchback RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just bought a 1988 Foxbody Mustang GT,
8.0 and it was sitting for about three years
before I bought it. It has bad wiring, just put
in two new plugs, worked the old gas out,
and the battery keeps a good charge. It
seems to have a vacuum leak but it doesn't
seem to have even 5 lbs of pressure in the
fuel pump system. This causes it to shift
and jump. Is my problem a vacuum leak or
something else?

Can a truck run if the fuel pump is not seated just right what I mean is if the fuel pump is only half way on the metal mount and not all the way down.
