What is your question?
I have a 1989 ford mustang 5.0 the cat starts and drives fine but once you turn the car off after letting it warm up it will not start again until the motor cools off then it will fire right back up
What makes this problem better or worse?
Won't start if engine is warm
How long has your 1990 Ford Mustang had this problem?
Few weeks

Hello, I immediately suspect the ignition control module or ignition coil when I hear this, but that is only if you have a crank and no start condition when warm. If the engine is not even trying to crank, as in it just clicks or does nothing, I bet the exhaust header is cooking the starter. Look on youtube, or use your preferred method of testing for spark when it wont start, or, if the starter is not turning when you try to start it, check the voltage at the starter motor when the key is turned to 'start'. With the 5.0, it is ALWAYS something simple, but finding it is sometimes a pain.
It cranks but no start after the motor warms up ive replace the starter flywheel starter solenoid and still have the no start when warm problem I've tested my ignition switch its good also it has aftermarket long tube headers
Now having it die while driving and not try to start back for awhile
That tells me you really should check the ignition system.
