5.0L (1979-1995) Mustang Technical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.

Anyone know what this is?

To find out if it's the inertia fuel cut-off, take a 30mph turn at 145mph, turn wheel in appropriate direction, floor it, and pull ebrake really hard. Once upside down, check for fuel odor, or visual signs of fuel leakage. Then repeat process again, but with mystery wire un plugged. If no fuel 1st time, but lots of fuel second time....it's your fuel cut off switch. It's really all about safety. This test works best with cameras rolling lol
