The only thing that I don't like is that if you notice on the Mercury Zetecs, right past the first air sensor, there is a huge black rectangular shaped box that comes off the intake towards the front of the vehicle. Now as far as I know it seems empty and there is a sensor in the bottom of the tube its connected to... What can I do with this, and do I need it? All of you should know what I mean if you have seen one. Now I look at all my friends Ztecs they have in their cougars and they don't have this peice on their intake. I am confused. I want to rip it off but I need some advise.... All will be appreciated.
it is an intake res to cut down on noise... it wasn't there on 98 and newer Zetec. you can just cut it off and tape the hole in the tube if you wan to cause there should be a sensor in the back of the tube, if I remember correctly it's the air intake temp sensor. If you want I can take a pic of how I cut it and then covered the hole up. Just have to find the intake plumbing in my basement...
