Default 94 Mustang 3.8 V6 Serious Engine Problems!!!

Ok, So im have MAJOR problems with this Mustang. I Just put on New water pump, New Fuel Filter, New Starting Solenoid, New Spark Plugs and Spark Plugs wires, and hell i cant remeber what else. One of the problems is getting it to start. I go to turn it on and it just makes a clicking noise really fast. Once i get it on, i take it down the highway. and when im coming to a stop and put it back in neutral and just shuts off on me, so i have to pull over and try and try and try to get it to come back on. Please help!!!

loose battery connection/ground wire. There are connections within connections. Check for clean copper cable connected to clean terminal connected to clean battery post, ect.. You can do a quick test by running a cable from negative side of battery to frame of car.
Use a multimeter and check continuity/ohm readings through ground system.

Ok, so went cut all new copper and got brand new terminals, and tried to start it again....once again, nothing. I made sure everything was tight and nothing was loose, and i tried to start it again and nothing. It acts like it wants to.

Ok, so now i got it come on, i let it sit there and idle for a bit then i put it in first gear and took off, once i put it back in nuetral it turned off. I got it to come back on, but i had to keep my foot on the gas peddle, and when i would take my foot off of the gas, it would die.

Also might check your throttle screw.
