RE: Fuel filter replacement for 2nd gen, I was told by the dealer that it was a 100,000 mile item or it didn't have one or something. I asked about having it changed and was going to have it done or do it myself but there was some type of reason I didn't. Info Please???
RE: O2 Sensor, I have almost 36,000 miles and I have a feeling my O2 sensor is failing. I know I hot rod it alot but 210 Miles before the oh **** light comes on, mostly highway miles just sucks. My dad's Ford Mustang GT 4.6 280HP V8 still get's better gas mileage than my 3.2L 225HP V6. The, hesitation and ongoing bump even though my tranny was overhauled could be related I suppose. I remember driving the same with my 95 3.3L Intrepid and going at least 260-280 Miles before having to fill up. I also have the latest PCM/TCM update.
Meant 260HP, don't know why I'm thinkin 280HP. Sorry guys.
I am thinking some of my major problems with the K&N that I had could be because of a failing O2 sensor. Is it hard to replace for next gen? I'd rather just do it myself if it's pretty cheap rather than convincing a dealer that it needs to be replaced under warranty. If it was failing would there be fault codes? Well, I never had any when my engine blew up.
Make sure you have the latest PCM and TCM update! For more information check out my PCM/TCM Update information post under second gen. I still feel my gas mileage sucks but it has improved.
