I own 4 Mustangs. 2 of them have the 2.3 engine. One is an 87 and the other is an 89. I also work on a lot of them for other people. I think that Lucasss is probably right. The most likely cause of your symptom is the "engine coolant temperature sensor". (NOT the same as the "water temperature sending unit") The "engine coolant temperatur sensor" sends information to the computer and is not related to the temperature guage on the dash.

Injected or carbed?
The early carbed 2300s were bad about carb icing if the temp/humidity was just right. There was a heater plate with a screen between the carb and the intake that had water lines ran to it. The plate would plug, or the control valve would stick and no hot water would get through it.
Even in warm weather the icing would happen due to the venturi effect.

there is a temp sensor on the engine that tells computer how hot engine is to adjust how rich or lean the fuel delivery is. you can usually get a computer code for ths problem if you know how to read them..i had a few fords act up like this and the temp sensor was bad..lucas

As stated check the fuel pump pressure,fuel filter,and the injectors. You may also check the catalytic converter and air filter but I believe the problem lies in the fuel delivery system.

I had a Ford Pinto that stopped on me in the middle of the desert once. An old desert rat stopped and told me about vapor lock. It cooled down and ran again, got hot and died again, and repeated the cycle until I finally made it. An electric fuel pump fixed it. That Pinto loved the desert after that.

see if you can borrow a fuel press gage there is a place inline on your fuel rail that you can tap the gage into you will have to run the line under the back of the hood so you can run
it into the side window this way you can monitor
the press while you test drive ck with your local ford dealer to see what the specs are for fuel
pump press sound like maybe your pump is dropping press clearfield

Have you ever replaced the fuel filter?

Now I can't tell you directly to do this but alot of fords have this problem and if the catalytic converter happened to fall off in your garage I would bet it would have fixed your problem. They like to clog up and act just how you described.

I have a '91 four cylinder, five speed.(fuel injection, 8 plugs, no dist. no way to change timing) Bought it in 2000, had 18,000 actual miles on it. Has a few short of 200,000 on it tonite. Suffered the first six months. New thermostat, no help, temp was normal anyhow. Finally accidently grabbed wrong nozzle on fuel pump when filling it up and put a tank full of Amoco Ultimate in it, ran great. Another tank of regular, ran terrible, overheating, about 45 up hill on the interstate just like before, another tank of Ultimate, ran like it is supposed to, tried other brands of premium, ran like it was on regular again, back to Ultimate..... . been using it ever since. Kinda expensive, but never needs injector cleaning.
