Hey guys,

First post here as I am now the proud owner of a 1989 LX happy.gif. I did a fair trade for my locked 2000 Wrangler TJ. I am in the process of verifying parts as the guy who I bought it from "did not know a lot" about the stang.

I checked my pipes and found these. Did a Google search and can't find a pict of OEMs that look like this. I did find some Boschs that looked identical minus the plastic tip between the braided cord and sensor. Any input as to if they are wide bands? I did not see a P/N...

how many o2 sensors does it have? should have one in each back about half a foot away from the manifold. Could be a wide band but it's hard to tell. What the does the connector end of that o2 look like?

 

[uedlose]

No they dont.

 

[b1lk1]

No they are not.

Those are normal O2 sensors (narrow band).

Absolutely those are narrow band....The 89 ECU wouldnt even know what to do with wideband sensors, lol.

the first wideband was introduced for automotive usage around 1992, so I would guess unless you are working on something exotic, if its older then say like 2000 or so, it probably still uses a narrowband.

Also, side note as I mentioned before on a similar thread if you are thinking about adding a wideband sensor and guage, do some research and figure out what you really want to do with it. If you simply want to view your AFR but are not intending to do major internal engine modification or forced induction and will not be tuning/datalogging, then getting a simple narrow band A/F gauge is about 30-40 bucks. This opposed to a good $150 for wideband guage plus you need to weld in a new bung on the header to install the actual sensor itself.

Also a narrowband guage will easily wire up to one of your existing factory 02 sensors without interfering with its operation. Looks cool on the dash, and serves it simple function to tell you if you are ethier lean or rich. You really do not need to know the specific A/F ratio unless you plan on those mods I mentioned and you are tuning.

Awesome, thanks for the input guys.

My intention is to build a Megasquirt and do some tuning, when I saw these O2s I was in hope of not needing to buy them. The point of me swapping my jeep for the stang was so I could **** around with some EFI as I'm still dinosaur with it. I would like to go the turbo route after addressing the fuel needs. Knowing that this would be an area I need to address, I was crossing my fingers!
