[V8] Oxygen sensor

Thu Jan 13 15:02:37 EST 2005

Careful removing, many posts about stripping out the threads.
Fortunately their the same size as some standard spark plugs so the
repair kits are readily available to chase and repair threads if
necessary.   I've change a couple with the Ford sensor and have been
lucky, no problem removing.

Alright...something I can actually help with! I've done it twice now on
my
1990 V8.
The key is getting the right replacement. The one I use a 3 wire Bosch
and
requires no splicing of a 4th wire. It's the same one that went in the
older
V6 Taurus' used. I have the part number at home and will email it to you
tomorrow. I believe it's about $30 or so. Simply unscrew the old one,
snip
the wires, crimp the new wires to the old ones and screw it back in.
It's
located behind the X of the exhaust.
Hope this helps.
