    Which o2 sensors do you use?

    Perhaps the 4 banger ECU is located there? And it was never taken out? :shrug:

    Which o2 sensors do you use?

    Thanks. I'll check it out. I've found the diagram for the ECU. It's really crappy. I wish I had a better one. :( Anyways, I don't see a wire for the oxygen sensor going into the ECU, although it does say Air Fuel Sensor. I'm assuming that's the same thing, however. So the kick panel is...

    Which o2 sensors do you use?

    Where exactly would that be? Sorry, I've never done anything like this. So what is this thing that is under my passenger seat? It's definetly factory. Is it the amp for the factory radio? Also, where can I get the kit to convert the signal for the longtubes?

    5 lug convertion the right way

    The lugs go from the hub through the rotor, the rotor has holes for them. Sorry, don't know about any kits.

    Which o2 sensors do you use?

    I get codes for both left and right o2 sensors failing to turn on/reading too lean. I bought the car with longtubes. The guy I bought it from did the V8 swap and had to cut the wires to one sensor because they weren't long enough. So as soon as I bought the car, I replaced the sensors...

    Which o2 sensors do you use?

    I've had an ongoing struggle with my o2 sensors, and I think I've narrowed it down to just defective o2 sensors. I used some Bosch kind that I got from autozone. They fit the plugs perfect and even had the correct number of wires and all that. But they just plain don't work. What do...

    Hey, the only computers I've had to deal with were imports, which were behind the radio :(

    02 sensor questions

    So i can't check the harness to see if the sensor is getting voltage? I'd like to check at the computer to see what the sensors are doing. Where is the computer? I've never had to pull it out. Is it under the passenger seat or behind the radio or something?

    How hard to rebuilt a T5?

    Not to be a jerk, but did you remember to adjust the clutch? I'm sorry if you did but sometimes people forget obvious things.

    Beginner's mod order?

    Seriously, forget the CAI. Like Michael Yount said, the car HAS one. It's been tested that a factory air box with the silencer removed performs as good or better than a whole line of CAIs. And don't even think about an air filter exposed to the engine bay. Do what Yount said, that's the...

    02 sensor questions

    I've noticed my o2 sensors haven't worked since I bought my car about a year and a half ago. The car had one o2 sensor plugged in, and the other had the wires cut. So I replaced both o2 sensors. I get check engine codes for both sensors failing to turn on as well as terrible gas mileage and...

    o2 sensor harness question

    I got it off okay. Thanks guys.

    my 2nd mustang-- 1st square body!

    Congrats on the purchase! When I deleted my smog pump, I actually removed it and blocked off the pipe. If the smog pump just isn't spinning, you really shouldn't have any fumes unless there's a leak. I suggest you remove it and block off the pipe at the H pipe and the pipe coming from the...

    o2 sensor harness question

    Maybe I should use some light pliars. It really doesn't want to come off.

    o2 sensor harness question

    I'm about to go pull out the o2 sensor harness and test it with a multimeter, but I noticed part of it plugs into the oil pan, probably the level sensor. Does this plug just pop out or do I have to use a wrench? It doesn't appear to be a hex nut, and it's abnormally large. I tried pulling on the...

    Irritating idle surge

    I've already tried cleaning my throttle body, but thanks for the advice nonetheless. I have pulled codes and all I get are oxygen sensors failing to turn on. That of course is because of the harness. Thanks for all the help so far guys.

    Irritating idle surge

    Well, thanks for your help anyways. I'll be sure to tell you if it fixes the problem. If not, I can always return it :D Oh, my oxygen sensor harness is a little wacky. It might be disconnecting then reconnecting. I'm pretty sure it stays disconnected almost all the time. Is it possible...

    Irritating idle surge

    What is IIRC? Sorry, I'm really bad with acronyms. Oh yeah, I tried the plate the goes inbetween the IAC and the throttle body. I found all it did was raise the idle. The idle would still surge but since there was extra air coming in, it wouldn't ever go low enough to stall, but close to it...

    Need help with escort, no where else to turn to

    If the timing belt has broken, wouldn't it cause the rotor to not spin?

    Irritating idle surge

    I don't know if my throttle plate has a hole, and I can't check it right now. I'll have to check tomorrow. I doubt it does, though, because if it did then my engine would probably have enough airflow to maintain idle while the IAC goes crazy. The idle will surge even while stopped, speed...
