Does anyone know why there is fuel coming out of the left exhaust on a 5L Mustang GT?

Are you sure it's fuel and not water? If the car runs good still, it's probably not fuel. If it runs like *****, then you might have like 3 of your cylinders missing on that side, but I've never heard of anything like that before.

hmmm thats def not good. Make sure that all of your wires connected to the spark plugs are on tight because it may be injecting raw fuel into the motor and it could be going through the exhaust system. Also your cats may be all screwed up so u might want to have that checked out, but im not really sure. My car had one of the sparkplugs not pluged in when i first got it but there wasnt any gas comming out the back.

Yeah, it's fuel. My gas mileage is horrible also. Any ideas?

Injector might be stuck open. Pull the plugs and look for a bad one.

I think they're a little easier to get off
