a 1989 ford mustangs is equipped with what is called a Mass Air Flow sensor(MAF for short) it needs to be cleaned to kept the engine running its best... http://www.mikefordmustang.com/writeups/how-to-clean-mustang-MAF/how-to-clean-mustang-maf.php

also you need to do that/\ and set your TPS http://www.muscularmustangs.com/tps.php (note if you can turn your tps in either direction you might need to take it off and use a drill bit to elongate the holes slightly to give you adjust-ability

hope this helps
