Ford Mustang: 95 GT still can't figure it out

Sounds like the EGR isn't working properly and it might have something to do
with the missing air pump. Sounds like unmetered air is getting into the
engine or exhaust before the O2 sensors. Unhooking the O2 sensors forces the
computer to use the tables and is not very efficient.

I forgot to mention code 117 also , Chilton says coolant sensor circuit
grounded.

I have had no choice but to disconnect those O2's so I can drive. However,
last night I unhooked the temp sensor and car ran great without it. The fan
stays on at the high speed side with the engine light on....but the car is
now not bucking nor chokin (with the Bosch o2's currently hooked up). I
know I know, don't start disconnecting sensors cause it will trigger more
codes or use back up tables (but what other choice do I have right now)

Do you guys think I should try buying a new ECT sensor?

Mike, I had this same setup on my 95 GTS before it was caught in a fire. It
never gave me any codes when I removed the air pump. The egr is blocked off
since Jegs sent me fox BBK long tubes instead of the 94-95 version. They
are both the same except the fox doesn't have the egr tube welded in the
passenger header. Also had this setup in the 95 GTS. No prob... Thanks
for helping me out..

I Just installed a new ECT sensor and so far car is running as smooth as
ice. I disconnected the battery for a while to let the codes erase. I am
only hoping this fixed it for good. I replaced the o2's but those already
had over 120K on them, so I don't feel bad replacing those that were not the
problem.

Glad to hear you got your car running again. I didn't get to look at this
thread until now.

A shorted ECT would most definately cause all types of problems, as you
noticed.

As for the O2 sensors, they are in fact a maintenance item and are scheduled
to be changed every 50-60K miles. At 120K, they were well overdue. Over
time, their ability to do their job is weakened and they are less accurate
in providing the computer with the information it needs to have a proper
air/fuel ratio.

Thanks JS, it's been 2 days now, and no sign of any trouble. It was very
tricky... How about a tip for those 94-95 (and maybe newer) if your car
begins to overheat, disconnect the ECT sensor, the computer will let the fan
run at high speed regardless of what temp (computer doesn't know).

The o2's were transferred from the 95 GTS while they were in the long
tubes...I was switching everything over to the GT before the GTS was picked
up by Allstate. I still miss that damn car. For some reason, that car
drove much better than what I have now....the steering wheel was actually
effortless to turn while this one I have now requires double the effort to
make turns, etc.

Same wheel size? Different tires? Have you checked the rack&pinion and
powersteering? I remember when my R&P leaked and I had to have it
replaced, Pony steered so much lighter afterwards...

BTW, did you get your odo fixed? I found a guy on corral.net who had
one for sale for mine a little while back. If you are still looking for
a replacement cluster and Tim can't help you out, post on the various
boards at corral, mustangworld etc. :-)

The cars looked like twins next to each other, same wheels and everything,
even the faded out 94-95 tail lights. Unfortunately no cluster yet ;0( I'm
not really after one right now since I am a little short in funds as I'm
trying to get back into HCC and fix the major problems first on the
car...next it needs shocks, front end bushings (lots of clunks), tire,
discs/pads on all fours, etc.. ;0( I have no choice but to get me a part
timer for the weekends for some extra $$$! All part of early manhood I
guess =D

Have you been on Falkenburg infront of the police station lately? There's a
car lot there and seems like they sell mostly performance cars. They have a
sweet orange 87-93 LX, looks extremely clean, 5.0 hatchback. If you know
anyone that is searching for one of those, they should check this one out.
