With OE-style fit, a threaded mounting design, and a 4-wire heated configuration, it supports accurate exhaust feedback for vehicles that require a precise replacement sensor.

Key Features

• Direct fit oxygen sensor for specific applications
• Heated sensor design for faster operating response
• 4-wire configuration with a 14.2500 wiring harness length
• 18.000 thread diameter with threaded mounting type
• Built for upstream right and upstream left positions where listed
• NTK part number 22074

Product Details

NTK 22074 is part of the Direct Fit Oxygen Sensor line, which focuses on OE-style replacement coverage and application-specific fitment. NTK manufactures oxygen sensors with ceramic-based technology and extensive production testing to help maintain fit, form, and function that align with original equipment requirements. For drivers and repair shops servicing a Ford Contour oxygen sensor replacement or a Mercury Mystique upstream oxygen sensor job, this part provides a direct replacement path without universal adaptation.

This part cross-references Bosch 13115 for the same application.

What This Oxygen Sensor Helps Address

• Check engine light concerns related to oxygen sensor performance
• Incorrect air-fuel feedback from a worn upstream sensor
• Rough idle or drivability issues tied to exhaust mixture control
• Emissions test failures caused by a failing sensor signal
• Replacement needs for Ford Contour, Mercury Cougar, and Mercury Mystique upstream positions

Installation Notes and Fitment

Compatible With 1995-1999 Ford Contour, upstream right and upstream left; 1995-1999 Mercury Mystique, upstream right and upstream left; and 1999 Mercury Cougar, upstream right and upstream left. Fitment includes square connector applications on 1999 models and bank-specific upstream positions on 1996-1998 vehicles. Verify connector style, sensor location, and thread engagement before installation. Use the listed vehicle application and position to confirm the correct replacement for your Ford Contour or Mercury Mystique oxygen sensor service.

Quality Assurance

NTK is a major original equipment oxygen sensor supplier and manufacturer, and this sensor is tested during production to help meet or exceed OE specifications.
