If you have multiple threads on a similar topic, ask the moderators to merge your threads. It is very difficult to keep up with what has already been posted. That helps prevent chasing the same rabbit multiple times.
There is no guarantee that it is compatible with the 5 speed car. Check the part number that is on the current harness against the part numbers on the diagram.
You need to have purchased an O2 sensor harness from Ford, Ford Racing or from a junkyard and check to see that it was
E8ZZ-12A690A or
E8ZZ-12A690AA

O2 Sensor harness interchange and modification

The wires for the 02's and low oil did not change throughout the years, they are all in the same place.
The main ones you need to worry about are (on the harness end (ECU) that plugs into the 02 plug) is:
\- 1. Lightblue / yellow
- 2. White / Purple
- 3. Purple / Yellow
The White/Purple & Purple/Yellow gets looped for a automatic ECU
The Purple/Yellow & Lightblue/Yellow for a manual ECU
Not all wires are shown for clarity and simplicity

Basic premise to use with transmission swaps:
Only run a 5 speed trans O2 harness with an A9L. Do not run an Auto O2 sensor harness with an A9L. Doing so will damage the computer’s internal signal ground.
Only run an Auto trans O2 sensor harness with an A9P in a car that has an Auto trans. Using a 5 speed trans O2 sensor harness with an Auto trans will cause no crank problems.
See http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/749974-computer-issue.html#post7490537 for Joel5.0’s fix to the computer internal signal ground.
The 4 cylinder O2 harness uses 4 wire O2 sensors. It won’t work correctly without modifying it.
