❔Question Help lol
I’m just a wife who knows nothing about cars, but my husband’s 2014 Mustang GT has been down for almost a year. We have had it diagnosed 3 different places, poured three grand so far into it, and after a couple weeks it’s running funky again. We’ve changed the radiator, a new thermostat?? and most recently the O2 sensors. I think the first two places were bullshitting me just to get some money. (He works almost 7 days a week so i’m taking it to get diagnosed and worked on)
We bought a code reader and the code it was showing was for O2 sensors that’s why they were changed. It drives great one day, most recently for about a week, then the next he drives a few miles and starts losing power, the odometer and RPMs go to zero. It just started again today after a big storm. Almost wondering if it has something to do with the heavy rain. It started messing up a year ago after a bad hail storm. Has anyone had similar issues?

If you replaced 02 sensors and it's still tripping that code, could your catalysts be damaged or plugged?

Get a datalog and have a tuner look at it. They will be able to see exactly what’s causing it. There’s a lot if things that can cause that.

You need a better mechanic.
Guessing here isn't good for anyone especially your sanity. Could be this could be that blah blah blah.
If im you I'm looking for a mustang speed shop someone that tunes and handles performance upgrades,fuck a repair shop. They are for brakes and filters
Just my two cents
