How do you replace the oxygen sensors on the 1998 ford mustang cobra?
The "front" set are ahead of the 4 catalytic assemblies toward the engine and are the fuel mixture feedback sensors. These are the most important as they directly control the EEC fuel feedback and tell the system how to tune the fuel mixture the best depending on operating conditions.
The "rear" pair are located behind the second set of cats and do not affect fuel control. Their purpose is to simply monitor the final exhaust and determine if excess fuel, beyond allowable transient conditions, exceed amounts which would indicate catalytic converter failure to the EEC-V emission control system. If they either detect excessive fuel, or are bad (rare), they will cause a check engine code and cause a check engine light. Likewise, the front sensors can do the same if either they are bad (rare), or if there is a fuel delivery issue, or any other condition affecting fuel delivery such as a vacuum leak, or possibly any modification to the induction system which upsets the system beyond what the EEC is programmed to consider normal and proper.
Note that if the EEC-V does cause a check engine light, it will also store a code indicating which of the four sensors it deems defective. A "code reader" or your dealer can read the codes in seconds.
In general the O2 sensors last a long time unless a (typically) mechanical problem exists, in most cases, excessive oil consumption due to engine wear, or possibly incorrect modification. This would almost always eventually result in one or both of a sensor or catalytic converter failure either of which will cause a system error code.
As far as replacing them, it's pretty simple. Gently unplug the sensor, and use the proper socket wrench to remove from the exhaust system.
IMPORTANT--- The front and rear sensors are NOT the same model and must be replaced with the same model.
Once the new ones are reinstalled and tightened to the required torque, the cables are just plugged back in.
FYI, it is possible to easily bench test the sensors, but it has to be done properly and carefully and such information is easily found on car enthuseist sites and is beyond the scope of this question.

What is the difference between a Ford Mustang saleen and a Ford Mustang shelby?
A Saleen mustang is produced by a company called Saleen and is a special model built and given a specific VIN identifying it as such. Saleen was started in 1983 by Steve Saleen, a veteran race driver and produced its first modified Mustang in 1984. His continued involvement with Ford has produced both race cars and street performance cars, but it all started with the Mustang.
A Shelby mustang is and was a modified Mustang tuned by Carroll Shelby's company. Shelby was commissioned by Ford to basically hot-rod Ford's best stock Mustangs and make them able to compete successfully in factory racing, as well as to build a scaled down road version that could be sold to the public.
Ford, like Ferrari, believed in the adage of "race on Sunday, sell on Monday".
Although he was involved in the 1965 model, the first real Shelby Mustang in name cam later, when production for the last Shelby Cobra ceased.
Still alive and kickin' He's making the new Mustangs go fast and corner too! The current Shelby Mustang is pushing 500 horses and 480 pounds of torque !

Lee Iacocca is credited as being the 'father of the mustang'. he came up with the idea to launch a small sports car in the ford line to make an affordable, fast selling car
Are 1965 Ford Falcon and 1965 Ford Mustang door hinges the same?
No, there's about 3/8" difference in the height of the hinge!!
How do you align the camshaft sensor without the synchronizing tool?
The only way is if you have not yet removed the old synchrozire. You can't if you have already removed the old synchronizer. There is no defined "clocking" point ,or way to aim the vane in the synchronizer, without that tool. There is no reference point. Now if you have not removed the old one, then you can observe where the vane is aimed. I ususally use a drop of white paint to mark the old one, then remove the synchronizer. I then mark the new one accordingly, and install it in such a way as to put it in the same place as the old one. If you have removed the old one, then you will absolutely have to get the tool to do it. But the tool is simple, and should be cheap, I would think, although have never priced it, since the shop I work in has all the alignment tools for us.

" K " / 3.55
" W " / 3.73
What is the difference between a GT Mustang and a California Special GT Mustang?
In 1968 The GT Equipment package was available on the 230/325/390 hp Mustangs.
They had 14" styled steel wheels which were chrome or painted argent with GT hubcaps, a pop open GT gas cap, side "C" stripes and quarter panel GT emblems.
There was no special difference made between the standard and automatic transmission models.
The California Special package was unique for 1968, the GT/CS .
It was available on hardtops only, and only for dealers in California.
It had a Shelby rear deck lid with the integrated spoiler, sequential taillights and Shelby, non-functional side scoops.
It had a blacked out grill and the mustang ornament was deleted, special side stripes were added, styled steel wheels and Lucas or Marchal fog lamps were put in the lower front valance. It may have had any of the mustang v-8 engines.
About 5000 were built.
On a side note another special mustang Similar to the California Special was the High Country Special, this one was sold only by Colorado dealers.
It was identical to the California GT/CS, with the only exception being the High Country Special decal taking the place of the GT/CS identification on the side scoops.
Why is the logo on a mustang a horse?
because a mustang is a breed of horse
The above answer doesn't explain why they used the Mustang as the logo.
The car was named after the P51 Mustang Fighter plane of WW2.
But a plane as a logo on a car would look rather silly!
They chose the Mustang Pony as it encapsulated power & freedom, somethying that Ford wanted the car to be associated with.
Where is the fuel filter on a 1998 mustang?
it is located behind the gastank underneath the trunk...its really tough to get to.. i reconmend jacking up the car as high as safely possble then supporting it with jack stands...
