is the egr sensor connected?? looks like one of the connectors for such and the other connector appears due to the fact you are holding heater hoses in your hand that they did not install the proper metal coolant pipes which house the ECM'S ECT sensor = coolant temp sensor = vital input for cold start running as well as an input to let ecm know when car is at operating temp to switch from open loop to closed loop.......I see no maf connector so it may be safe to assume the car Is SD = speed density, pulling the cars ecm and getting a code off it can further verify that

mjr46 did a great job in identifying those conntectors. I would do exactly as he says and get the ECT hooked back up once you have the correct lines.

Im going to ASSume the EGR isnt hooked up seeing as theres a vacuum hose missing from it also.

I would also recomend a proper intake system too, lol.

yea, im not too smart when it comes to electrical. I just can't believe i got a 14.7 out of that. Can the local autozone help me out? I've been to autozone before about specific mustang problems and they told me to go to the dealership lol.

Im not sure they will carry the coolant hose you need and the fitting for the ECT. Just call them and ask.

No matter what autoparts store you go to, you will get some people who are somewhat clueless and then there is some out there who know what there talking about for specific brands of vehicles
