Any recommendations on which o2 sensor to buy, i need the one before the cat. Is an aftermarket cheaper one ok, the ford one is like 110$

O2 sensor is one of those parts that you should stick with Ford OEM on.

Bosch will work fine. They are around $45 bucks a pop.

Bosch

97 and change for to 2 at orilliys. and go with bosch.

Aftermarket is the way to go actually.... anything FORD is overpriced and outperformed.

dapack69 · October 5th, 2007, 08:26 AM

Actually talk to any tuner and they will say stay with Ford.

04GTAMPA · October 5th, 2007, 08:32 AM

Some parts might do it, but if you're going to replace performance parts, get better, period.

dapack69 · October 5th, 2007, 08:38 AM

Your saying that bosch are better? I guess you use there spark plugs to then.

04GTAMPA · October 5th, 2007, 12:32 PM

Actually, I don't use any O2 sensors and I use Autolite spark plugs 103. If I had to choose, I would go with denso or bosch.

dapack69 · October 5th, 2007, 01:07 PM

Are you carbed?

04GTAMPA · October 5th, 2007, 01:09 PM

Off road everything.

Drgnracin72 · October 5th, 2007, 01:09 PM

never heard much good about boshe 02 sensors, id go with stock replacements. thats the norm in the mustang world

04GTAMPA · October 5th, 2007, 01:14 PM

I've had bad luck or none at all with the damned o2 sensors, no matter what brand. With the tune and fueling on my car, they all go bad in 2 weeks. Finally turned them off.

shortyz · October 5th, 2007, 03:12 PM

o4gttampa are you talkin about front o2's? I need a front one before the cat

04GTAMPA · October 5th, 2007, 04:45 PM

I'm talking about all four. You should be fine with anyone really, if don't have an aggressive tune and you don't spray, they should hold pretty good.

shortyz · October 5th, 2007, 05:51 PM

well i have a mild tune one a 2001 saleen 281 s/c 11 psi boost I just tried to change it, its so far up there i think you have to take off the exhaust so i quit messin with it today. Id like to have a little chat face to face with the guy that decided to put the o2 sensor on to of the pipe where oyu cant get to it.

RyanGT · October 5th, 2007, 06:27 PM

While we are on the topic of o2 sensors.... I have a p1132 code that says im running rich. Then it says see p2196. Looked that online and says o2 stuck rich. I have a bad 02 sensor? And this is a replace all type thing?

shortyz · October 6th, 2007, 01:19 AM

where did you get the code from? i got the 1131 code from my xcal, but my mechanic scanned and got the exact o2 sensor that was goin bad, (supposively i will find that out in a few days) so im just gonna replace that one. Id have someone scan that can pinpoint the location, or just buy 4 new ones $$$

RyanGT · October 6th, 2007, 02:07 AM

my back 2 are turned off so im just going to replace the front 2 at the same time.

Was from my diablo said the first code for running rich, then said see this code and its o2 sensor... makes sense since im idling rough.
