    P0122, running rich - an easier solution?

    Thank you, that helps a lot! Would there be different OBD codes for the front and rear O2 sensors? That might help me sort it out as well.

    P0122, running rich - an easier solution?

    Are there then two places on each side where the MIL eliminators could be plugged in? I'll admit I'm not intimately familiar with the exhaust systems on these cars (as I said the previous owner removed the cats before I bought it). I was working close to the transmission when I installed the...

    P0122, running rich - an easier solution?

    Today I finally made time to get under the car to install the MIL Eliminators. Interesting endeavour, that, with an interesting combination of plugs. I then took it out for a drive. Check engine light was still on while I was driving around, and after restarting a couple times (to see if it...

    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?

    I picked up a set of back seats from a 2018 (not sure if they came from a convertible or not, or if it matters in that model year). I can say that the 2018 rears are definitely *wider* than what is in a 98GT convertible. The 2018 rear seat is also a split-back (two piece) rear seat, which...

    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...

    Seat adapters for 98GT convertible, for newer seats

    I've seen that a company used to make these, but they haven't made them for some time and don't seem to have any plans to make them again. I want to put newer Mustang seats into my 98GT convertible, does anyone have an option? I'm open to creative solutions here, but I want to retain...

    Adapters for newer seats in SN95 convertible?

    I've been hunting around on this for a while now, looking to put newer Mustang seats into my 98GT Convertible. There was a company that used to make exactly what I'm after...

    theft light blinking and no crank

    I was talking to a Ford parts counter a few months ago about keys for my 98GT. He told me that the car actually has to be programmed to accept the key (rather than the other way around) as the keys apparently don't have programmable chips. Hence if you have a key that is cut right but has no...

    Code P0122, but lacking the usual symptoms

    Well that was almost easier to fix than I expected. I swapped the TPS itself - which was about $30 from a local auto parts store - and code P0122 went away. I pulled that off in my garage in about 15 minutes and then cleared the code with my code reader. However after driving it for a while -...

    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

    Last week I found myself driving a 2020 EcoBoost Mustang (the car rental gods were smiling upon me while traveling for work). In a case of "you don't know what you don't have until you have it", I fell completely in love with the seats from that car. Has anyone fitted the seats from those...

    WTB/Trade Front seats in tan leather

    Good to know, thank you! I'll have to look at some 99+ seats to see how far off the color is and if it would bother me (or more importantly my wife). If I had to replace the entire interior that might not be the end of the world provided the back seats are direct bolt-ins as well.

    Where were you on this morning 19 years ago?

    I was halfway into my undergrad, over 1,000 miles from NYC in midwestern USA. I was a news junkie back then (in fact working at the student newspaper) so I was watching CNN that morning while eating breakfast as it was part of my usual morning routine. Obviously that day was anything but...

    WTB/Trade Front seats in tan leather

    I have a 98GT convertible, I'm looking to replace or reupholster my front seats. If you have 94-04 seats in tan leather you'd like to sell please reach out to me. I can't seem to find any in my part of the country.

    Front Seat Replacement / Reupholster Suggestions

    Thank you! That is what I was hoping to hear, as adding the 99-04 mustangs to the search certainly improves the chances of finding seats in decent condition. Do you know if the 99-04 seats wire in directly, or would it require some rewiring? I haven't been able to find much information on...

    Front Seat Replacement / Reupholster Suggestions

    I think you're exactly right on that. I reached out to one upholstery shop in my area this week. They said they haven't hired their upholstery tech back yet and can't even give me a quote until they have that person. Indeed the reply came from the owner. I expect lots of people like to send...

    Front Seat Replacement / Reupholster Suggestions

    That's for sure! All in for my setup (saddle leather front seats, with new foam) would be about $1k through them. As is often the case my rear seats are nearly flawless, so I really only need to look at the fronts. Thank you for finding those! I might try reaching out to some local...

    Front Seat Replacement / Reupholster Suggestions

    Thank you for the recommendation! I just looked at www.theseatshop.com and it appears they specialize in trucks and SUVs - indeed you can't even select Mustang for 1998 Ford, it lists only trucks and SUVs from that era. I sent them an email anyways to see if they can do anything for me; if I...
