We don't have any mustangs with 2.0s. Are you sure about that?
Does this car have auto temp control AC?

That's the engine coolant temperature sensor for the computer.
What's that T fitting in the other heater hose doing there?

The coolant temperature sensor won't make the cat turn red. You have some type of misfiring going on causing the cat to glow like that.
Is the engine running rough at idle?

If you are driving this thing around with that sensor disconnected, that will tell the computer that it's -40 degrees with will certainly make the mixture too rich and cause a lot of your problems. You can't leave that disconnected.

Your car overheats, it runs rough. It's time to have it diagnosed professionally as you may have some serious internal damage.

Must be running on 2 cylinders. You need to figure out which cylinders are misfiring. Once you determine which ones are missing, you need to figure out if they are getting spark or you have some sort of compression problem going on. I'd say your getting fuel because the cat is red.
You can also pull some spark plugs and see which cylinders are gas fouled. Too bad you don't have an EEC IV tester that can do a power balance test. That would make finding out which cylinder(s) are missing a lot easier.
You shouldn't drive it anymore until your fix your misfiring problem. You'll end up ruining the catalyst, if it isn't already wasted.

It's possible, but you need to figure out which cylinder(s) are missing and why. You could also get a spark tester and check for spark once you determine which cylinders are dead horses.
Since this one has two plugs per cylinder, probably the easiest way is to unplug each fuel injector connector one at a time with the engine running to determine which cylinder is missing. The one that doesn't change the running of the engine once unplugged is a missing cylinder.

You have to ground the STI connector terminal #2 with a jumper wire. Then turn the ignition on and the computer will run a series of tests and then display codes via the check engine light. Keep your hands away from the cooling fan. The codes are two or three digit format.
Probably an easier way is to get hold of a EEC IV code reader. They're not expensive (around $30-$40) and can do other types of self tests including a power balance test.
