Car starts sometimes
There is a switch on the Brake pedal or on the Clutch pedal(If equipped) that prevents cranking the engine if the pedal is not pressed while trying to start the car.
Often this switch gets hit by the Driver's feet and either loosened or broken. Another thing to have checked is the Battery. The Antitheft may kick in if the Battery is weak.
Please comment on my info.

it could be your anti-theft need to be reprogram or the crank sensor is bad give these websites a try www.alldatadiy.com and www.autozone.com if all fails stop by your local library and get your hands on a Haynes auto repair manual for your car wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.

Some 1999-2004 Mustang vehicles equipped with a T5, T45 or TR3650 manual
transmission, may exhibit a hard to shift condition into first or reverse gears
from a stop. This may be due to an incomplete disengagement of the clutch (lack
of clutch pedal reserve).

There is a small ring around your ignition cylinder. There are 3 wires that run from it. It is some kind of sensor for the Theft or PATS key. If you use your tilt a lot, it seems to have a "undesirable" effect on the small wires...My Mustang Cobra did this one day. Had a great mechanic friend come over to the house...He just moved the column (tilted it about midway). Cranked right up!!! It still does it occasionaly, but all I have to do is move the tilt.
