My 1989 Mustang GT 5.0, 5 speed, is a car I've owned for over 10 years. Until recently it ran fine but started with the engine missing over 2800-3000 RPM's. I did a tuneup myself which included Wires, spark plugs,rotor, dist cap with no improvement.
I then took it to a Ford dealer and they replaced everything I had already done and replaced the throttle position sensor all this was done for $1,500.00. I test drove it and the same problem was there immediately went back to the Ford dealer and was told to leave it again but I did not want to leave it there for another week and a pretty good argument also being told that their mechanics had not worked one the 5.0 engine since it is so old I gave up and took it back home before probably going to jail.
Any ideas as to the problem. It also has a new fuel pump and gas filter.

We have a technical/how to thread around here someplace, I'll see if I can find it, meanwhile I'll send this over to the tech forums, see you there.

This covers most of the common problems with these cars
Thanks to jrichker and others for contributing to the technical/how to forum
Any questions just ask, I won't know the answers but I have 'people'!
 
Theres a rubber portion of fuel hose inside of the tank. It connects the fuel pump to the sending unit assembly. It cracks and ruptures with age and can cause the symptoms you describe.
