I'm so confused. I posted earlier that my car dies after 30 mins or so but here's an update. I got home today and let it sit and idle in the driveway for 40 minutes, no problem. Then I went and drove it about 15 miles or so and came back, pulled up in the driveway and it died after a few minutes. I took a water hose and cooled everything under the hood but still I would start it, it would run for 5 minutes or less (usually) then die again. What gives........??????

See my answer to your first post and go through the checklist. You will find the problem.

OR

Get your wad of cash or credit card out and buy one of everything the auto parts store has for the ignition and computer for 5.0 Mustangs.

You'll find the checklist is cheaper and faster.
