OK, you edited your post....

SO, you do have an off road pipe?...It's most likely the MIL eliminators...They aren't working right, you need new ones....

Edit:ASSUMING that the MIL's you have now were installed correctly..

Out of all your mods I think your electric moonroof is causing most of your problems, but I am thinking it might even bee your pedal adjuster! [Big Grin]

True, but I think the code is refering to the O2 Heater wire, so it could still be your MIL eliminators...What brand MIL's did you get, Dallas Mustang?...Call the company and tell them you have ONLY an off-road H on your car and keep gettin the P1151 code...Ask then if the P1151 is a code that could be generated from a bad MIL eliminators....

Here's another thing...You listed the "Steeda u/drives w/timing adjuster"...What is your timming set to?...If you're running too advanced, try setting the timming back to stock and disconnect your battery(to reset your EEC)and seeing if you still get the code....

I hope this info helps... [patriot]

P1151 is lean bank 2 (drivers side), however it has nothing to do with mil eliminators, and the down stream sensors. This code refers to the up stream sensors(closest to the exhaust manifold) . Possibly damaged the sensor when swaping it into the new pipe, or did it not get plugged in? Try a new sensor. I recomend buying one from a ford dealer if you can get hooked up with a good price.

Could be a case of bad front o2 sensors...

My car idles like SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!! The idle jumps around at a stop light; especially when there's a big drop in rpms, like coming down an freeway exit ramp. MOF, the car cuts off sometimes.

I've got about 56K on the odometer.

88Bird- you're right about the code, and I got a fat deal on two front O2 sensors from some dude off the Corral.

Thanks for the input folks [patriot] .
