I installed a adjustable clutch cable on my 1995 mustang but i dont know how to adjust it. I tryed a couple times but car wont run when i accelerate it just makes noise from exsust.

you over tightened it so its basically like the nut is pushing the clutch in at all times.. You are not supposed to tighten the nuts as far as they can go..

Loosen it up to where the clutch fork is loose and you can move it back and forth with ur hands..

now tighten the nut only to the point where the clutch fork cant be moved back & forth freely with ur hands , but make sure that the nut isnt putting pressure on the fork causing it to push forward..

use this as a starting point, and tighten or loosen based on your preference.. the tighter you go is the higher up your clutch pedal will feel.. just make sure you dont over tighten again..
