    HELP!!! running lean and running rich at the same time! WTF?

    zero_chance, thanks a lot i guess that makes a lot of sense....the main question is what is making my car run lean again? my mechanic tested for vacuum leaks and leaks all around the intake (after the MAF) and found nothing, thats why he said replace the temp. sensor

    Why the mustang?

    too put it into perspective for me, i bought a 5.0L because of the fact and forgive me for saying that it is a "poor mans" fast car....a nicely set up 4.6 or 5.0 + a power adder + exhaust (for the sound you want) has gobs and gobs of torque and sounds awesome... and the cost is minimal. so...
