What would cause vehicle to surge while the AC is on 1998 Mercury Villager?
my guess would be a catalytic converter going bad. you can remove the front oxygen sensor and drive it. if the problem goes away then it is probably the catalytic converter. nth njth ///////???????????????????kldghavnivaetahdsngahe

Where is the 02 sensor code P0420 bank 1 in a '99 Mercury Cougar V6?
Answercatalytic converter efficiency below threshold.http://www.v8sho.com/SHO/TSB0197HO2SServiceTips.htm see web site for sensors locations, copy and paste website in address.....A code PO420, catalytic converter efficiency below threshold, is more likely an indication of a catalytic converter problem, not the sensor. There are different codes that would indicate a sensor problem. However, it is possible that a sensor problem may be the cause of the catalytic converter code appearing. The sensors (newer cars have two or more) measure the differences between exhaust gas before and after the converter(s). Faulty sensors could indicate a faulty converter when it might be the sensors' bad measurements that are the cause. However, a faulty sensor should also generate a bad sensor code. Sometimes another indicator of a bad catalytic converter might be a vibration in the exhaust system near the converter caused by pressure in the converter or a breakdown of the honeycomb material inside the converter.

Why is your car making a whirring sound especially during acceleration?
Depending on what kind of "whirring" sound you are referring to, it can either be your catalytic converter or some problem with the exhaust system. Most likely the catalytic converter if its what I'm thinking of.
