2000 Mustang GT starting problems?

My Mustang has highflow x pipe with cats, flowmaster exhaust, bbk cold-air induction. When I start it, the motor turns over for a second, then shuts off. I have to repeat this 2 or 3 times, till it finally turns over, while holding my foot on the gas. Then I can drive it with no problems, and if I start it an hour later, there is no problem. After it cools off (the next day), I have go thru all this again. This problem suddenly started in the fall, there was no problem in the summer....What could cause this?

    It could be your fuel pump getting weak. A clogged fuel filter maybe. A dirty IAC(idle air control valve) or MAF(mass airflow sensor) may cause it.

If that may not the case (and to be uncomplicated it would not sound that way) then greater desirable initiate checking gas rigidity. it is obtainable you have a blockage this is sending your computer into hissy suits or maybe idle/speed sensor, etc. etc. not likely to be common to diagnois and not using a test gadget...
