    P0122, running rich - an easier solution?

    First things first, the previous owner of my 98GT Convertible opted to remove the catalytic converters for the "custom exhaust" that they installed on this car. This of course is why the P0122 code is coming up, as the O2 sensors can't connect to anything if there are no catalytic converters...

    Can *rear* seats from newer Mustangs swap in as well?

    We've talked about front seats before, but I'm curious to know if anyone has put *rear* seats from newer model Mustangs into SN95s. I have found a full set of seats from a 2018 Mustang on my local craigslist for a reasonable price and was considering them for my 98GT convertible. However as...

    Code P0122, but lacking the usual symptoms

    (I mistyped the code in my original post, it should be P0122, not P1022. The title and the rest of this post has the correct code now) My 98GT convertible has had the check engine light on since I bought it last summer. I finally put a code reader on it and got P0122, but the symptoms that...

    How to identify PI heads or intake on a 4.6?

    I bought a used 98GT convertible last summer and it seems to have been fairly well loved by its previous owner. I just recently learned about the PI heads and intake manifold and was thinking of going down that path but then was left wondering if the previous owner might have done it already...

    Front Seat Replacement / Reupholster Suggestions

    After being stang-less for many years, I picked up a 98 GT convertible this summer. My new car however in spite of being rust free and only at 93k miles could use some help in the interior. The driver's seat has some big splits in the leather and is currently covered by a cheap seat cover. I...

    Free Water Pump 95GT

    I removed this from my car last summer thinking it was bad, it seems to be OK. After I pulled it I realized it turns fine, and the problem I was trying to solve ended up being gasket related not pump related. Pump is original Ford, now in a Bosch box. Pick it up for free in the Syracuse, NY...

    Exhaust Shop Recommendation, Upstate NY?

    Does anyone know a good exhaust shop in Upstate New York (preferably Syracuse area)? I have a custom exhaust setup on my 95 GT and it needs some work that is beyond my ability (I don't weld). I was considering taking it to a Ford dealer as the dealers here have been pretty decent so far, but...

    Brake light on dash

    I've noticed lately that the brake light on my dash comes on periodically when I am stopping under normal driving conditions. This is the light that normally comes on when I set the parking brake, which of course I do not use when stopping under normal driving conditions. Once I resume moving...

    Delay wiper / washer problems

    My intermittent wipers and windshield washer only work when I am using my turn signal. I can push in for washer fluid all I want when I am not signaling, and I'll never get anything, but if I push it in while signaling for a turn, I get washer fluid. Same with the intermittent wipers - the...

    How to clean up coolant spill?

    This is a pretty stupid question but I don't know the answer. What is the best way to clean up a coolant spill from a cement garage floor? I spilled some antifreeze when I installed a new water pump. I'm sure I'm not the only person dumb enough to try cleaning up antifreeze with...

    Personally I've preferred the Haynes manuals so far, but I've heard some people say they aren't as good as they used to be. What are other people using?

    Chilton or Haynes for a 2001 Hyundai?

    A friend of mine bought a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe at a police auction. I told him I'd buy him the manual for it for his birthday, so I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on which one to get for this car. I've always used the Haynes manuals for my own cars, but I've heard some people say they...

    In the winter, I ...

    Personally I drive my 5.0 right through the winter, even here where we (allegedly) get 100+ inches of snow over the course of the winter. Winter here doesn't stand a chance against my Blizzaks.

    After hours parts in upstate New York?

    Is there anywhere that I can get car parts after 9pm in Upstate New York? I live in the Syracuse area but driving to Rochester or Albany wouldn't be out of the question when I urgently need a part in the evening. It seems like everything useful in Syracuse is closed by 9pm, if not earlier...
