Does this apply to the Zetec? If so - what is the TSB number. I ask because I have an alldata subscription for this car, and I do not see any TSB's that discuss this updated firmware.
I have a pending sale on my '96 Zetec Mystique - except suddenly a CEL 0420 code pops up every 60 or 70 miles, and now the sale is at risk! And spending over $300 for a new cat is out of the question. I'm wondering if a reflash with the latest firmware will stop the codes on the Zetec.
Also - will the mileliminator work for this problem, or is it only good for crossover pipe installations? My guess is that it should work.
