A friend's '89 mustang as well as a '92 Tbird s****t I owned both
had this problem.
Both had the 302 V8 with the overdrive automatic.
It turned out to be a 5 cent part...a plactic bit attaching a throttle
position cable that goes from the the EFI throttle (attachs next to
the throttle cable if I recall correctly) down to the transmission.
Someone told me that this cable controls the oil pressure in the trans,
too. This makes sense, since my trans fluid ended up turning black.
