There is a ground wire that goes with the O2 sensor wiring, it's black, make sure that is bolted on the engine. I found that wire after I got the other engine in Vicky, and reattached it. See if you get the code then.

I had a code 42 (same code as you but rich instead of lean). Car was bucking during warming up. Replaced the O2's and the code disappeared and the car ran fine.1990 Country Squire - under restoration

thats your mistake right there... you cant "make" O2 sensor wires - they use special shielded wires...Originally posted by marquisman View PostPete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

The O2 wires are not shielded. They're just 3 wires with that high temperature cloth sheath around them. . You do have to make sure to get them in the proper position though.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

They aren't shielded??
My A/F ratio gauge installation instructions made it sound like all O2 sensor wires are shielded, which is why they said not the tap into the O2 wire itself, but the wiring just past the connector, otherwise it would be a bad thing.

Okay, that's it.Originally posted by marquisman View Post
Get your car out of this retard's shop. You don't 'tighten the linkage' to get it to shift higher, as it raises TV pressure in the AOD, which does indeed raise shift rpm, but screws up the way the transmission behaves, when you do that. The linkage is merely there to adjust throttle valve pressure (it has to stay within parameter), not for some moron to adjust shift points.
I don't know what to tell you concerning finding another mechanic, but this mechanical half-wit doesn't need to be within a thousand feet of and of your cars, because he doesn't know shit about Fords. He's given you a dozen red flags about his lack of repair ability, and yet the car is still there? Is this a 'Canadian' thing?Comment
