    California Emissions Question - Legal to install wideband O2 sensor on stock h-pipe?

    Hello, I know that it can't affect emissions at all, but I also know that Cally is very picky about visible modifications. Is it legal (in California) to install a wideband O2 sensor on a stock h-pipe? I was thinking of installing it in front of the front cat, on the driver side. Or, if...

    Question - Where to install wideband O2 sensor on stock exhaust

    After doing further research, it looks like most people say that the A/F measurement will probably be too lean, and sometimes too rich, if I install the bung after any of the cats. So I guess I'll try to install it in front of the front cat. I think I should be able to replace the stock front...

    Question - Where to install wideband O2 sensor on stock exhaust

    Yes, I think you're right. Also, it looks like his exhaust is different than mine. My front cat and rear cat are very close together, but I don't even see his other cat in the picture.

    Question - Where to install wideband O2 sensor on stock exhaust

    It looks like your wideband is behind the rear cat. Does it seem to be giving accurate readings? Do you have to mentally adjust the A/F to account for the fact that it is behind the rear cat?

    Question - Where to install wideband O2 sensor on stock exhaust

    Thanks jstreet and tacbear, It looks like the gauge has a Nernst emulator, which provides the same output as a normal front O2 sensor. So I guess I'll just replace the front O2 sensor with the AEM wideband O2 sensor. Hopefully it's not too close to the exhaust port. It'll be nice, not having to...

    Question - Where to install wideband O2 sensor on stock exhaust

    Hello, I recently purchased an AEM gauge-type wideband O2 sensor and controller (30-4100), which has a Bosch LSU4.2 Universal Exhaust Gas Oxygen (UEGO) sensor. I have the stock exhaust, and want to keep it that way, in order to pass California emissions. I was wondering where I should install...

    Question - Anyone have the catch code to hex code list?

    Hello, I am trying to find out if the hex code in my Stang's computer matches the catch code written on the outside of the computer case. I've heard that, sometimes, a dealer will re-program the computer, resulting in a different hex code. Does anyone have a list of which hex codes...

    California Emissions Test - Questions

    Thanks bdcardinal, sgarlic, 03ghoststang, and wms004! I will put the EO sticker on the supercharger. I will try to find a test-only station that can do both a pre-test and real test. I will print out the ARB info for my EO number. By the way, I live in the Lost Angeles area, so I guess I get...

    California Emissions Test - Questions

    Hello, I have a 1.7L Kenne Bell with intercooler, 90mm MAF, 75mm TB, and big tube kit, all of which came when I ordered the kit. I have no other mods, and I have the EO sticker for the Kenne Bell, so I think I should pass Cally emissions, unless I fail the sniffer. I'm a little worried about...

    who is using 5w-20 and who is using 5w30?

    Amsoil 0W-30. The amsoil tech said that the 0W-30 is far superior to the 5W-20. I guess the 5W-20 is like a watered-down version of the 0W-30. I've used 0W-30 for 3 years, and never had a problem. However, I do all of my own maintenance, and I've never worried about the warranty.

    02/GT PCV valve removal

    Maybe it's because your Stang is a 2001.

    02/GT PCV valve removal

    In fact, I just did it earlier today. Use a 20 mm wrench.

    02/GT PCV valve removal

    Yep, I've got an 02 GT, and you have to use a wrench on the square sides of the PCV valve. Turn it counter-clockwise. After about 1/4 turn, you can unscrew it by hand.

    What is best way to lubricate a tight hose onto a fitting?

    Thanks for the responses. My hard disk crashed, so I haven't had internet access for the last couple of days. Those are some good ideas. I'd never thought of spit, soapy water, or a heat gun. Yeah, I'd heard that oil or petroleum jelly might not be good for rubber hoses. I guess I'll...

    electric water pumps..............

    I just got a Meziere electric water pump. That's the brand that I've heard the most about. Is it a good brand? I think so, but I'm not sure. A lot of Stangers seem to use it. Is it the best brand? I don't know. I got an electric, because I'm installing a Kenne Bell supercharger, and I wanted a...

    What is best way to lubricate a tight hose onto a fitting?

    Hey guys, What is the best way to get a tight hose onto a fitting? In other words, what sort of lubricant should I put on the inside of a hose, in order to get it onto a fitting, especially if the fitting is in a hard-to-reach place and it's a very tight fit? 1. Vaseline? I've heard it...

    What is the hole/plug in the back of the valley in the engine block?

    By the way, is it a big deal if you get antifreeze or water on your clutch or flywheel? I imagine getting water on the clutch would be bad. However, I have an automatic, so I don't have a clutch, so I wonder if it matters if I get water on my flywheel. That pool of slime and gravel in the...
