this is on my 93 5.0 tbird, im assuming since its an HO everything should be for the most part the same as a 5.0 stang so i figured i would ask you guys, because the tbird site im on is a little bit slow right now so responses take a while
ok since my car was getting horrible gas mileage (11mpg when it was getting 22) i finaly found someone to let me use their scan tool, one of my o2 sensors was reading 0 all the time and the other one was all over the place (i replaced them later on in the day) but i didnt get any codes for the o2 sensors, i got these
311....thermactor air system inoperative, right side
314....thermactor air inoperative, left side
all i have is a pos haynes manual so it doesnt tell me wtf the thermactor air system is, can anyone tell me what it is?
cause my only guess is it has something to do with me bypassing my smog pump with a shorter belt.
i havent calculated my mpg yet, and i havent scaned the car again since i put the new o2 sensors on but it still doesnt seem like im getting any better mpg :confused:
