Hi guys,
I’m new to the world of Mustangs. I picked up a 2007 Mustang GT track car. I’m told that the original motor ate a valve and was swapped for another 4.6 3valve from a donor S197.
I’m tracking the car at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in CT and when I hit the straightaway and top out 3rd gear just before redline, I am getting an ignition cut/rev limiter. It’s also throwing the P0198 and P0298 codes. The car has an aftermarket oil cooler and remote oil filter kit on it. I’m doubtful that the oil is actually getting too hot. I’m thinking that the oil temp sensor may be bad.
Here’s the strange thing…. I can’t find an oil temp sensor on the motor! There’s an oil pressure sensor on the oil filter boss and there’s an oil level sensor on the oil pan but I can’t find the dang oil temp sensor! Where is it?
Also, maybe worth mentioning…. the oil level sensor on the pan was hacked up to make the wiring harness pigtail connector fit. Maybe these connectors varied between years and the donor motor was different??
I’ll upload some shots of what I’m working with.
