Won't stay running

Asked by Spacetochase Jul 18, 2016 at 06:38 PM about the 1998 Ford Mustang GT Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My mustang full of fuel WILL CRANK but immediately
shuts off. Could this be theft system issue.
Keep in mind there was a little black wire by the negative
terminal that burned off the frame when my subwoofer
system burned my terminals off. Maybe this little wire??
