My friends 98 Mustang GT has trouble turning over. It takes three or more key turns to get it started. I don't know that much about new cars. Could this be a problem with a starter?

Not positive on the variety of causes for a ford - but if it uses the high-pressure fuel pumps that could be it.

It's a FORD...anything else really need to be said?

Sorry, had to throw that in there.

I'd check fuel filter and pressure.

Do you mean that it cranks OK but doesn't start? Or it doesn't crank - starter is not able to spin the engine fast enough to start?
