O2 codes and stumbles and runs poor, Sound a whole lot like a plugged converter. If it is possible to remove the upstream O2 sensors and drive vehicle with them removed and see if the vehicle power comes back albeit loud. If power is there next reinstall one side at a time and see if you can find which side is affected.

Thanks for finally asking. Been around here for a while and no ones asked. Car has run a best of 9.985 seconds at 131 mph with best 60' of 1.316, Oh yeah how many of your converters are new?

once again its my sisters car and she said they replaced the converter,i dont know how many they replaced.hell i did not even know it had two.she lives about two hours from me and have not seen the car in about two years.
looks awesome!
had a 67 camaro that ran 9.01 @148mph with 1.23 60 foot,it should have ran mid 8s,but lost #7 ex. pushrod half way through run.
to make a long story short,GOT MARRIED,HAD KIDS,SOLD CAR,GOT EVERYONE 4 WHEELERS!now we all ride together and have fun.

Actually that car has 4 converters if I remember correctly. My race car runs a small block stroker all motor. I'm a little different in my circle, but I like being different. Next season after current mods I'm looking for mid 9's so we will see

man i can work on chevys, but dont have a lot of experience on fords,was hoping for an "oh yah its just one of those dohickys that allways goes out on them thunder turds"
guess it wont be that easy.i did find something about a temp. sensor going bad and not sending any codes,then causing a bunch of other codes to get kicked out.
and maybe going into closed loop, fouling everything up.
any ideas?
