No. Speed sensors tell the speedometer how fast you are travelling, O2 sensors provide information to the ECU to enable it to provide the correct fuel/air mix to the engine.

Assuming we are talking O2 sensors, the downstream O2 sensors left and right are the same. The upstream O2 sensor left side is left side upstream only. Upstream right side fits both left and right sides upstream only. The difference is the length of the wires for the upstream sensors.

Where are the O2 sensors located?

All O2 sensors are threaded into the exhaust system at various points. Upstream O2 sensors are located before the catalytic converter(s) and downstream O2 sensors are located after the catalytic converter(s).


Are oxygen sensors and map sensors the same thing?

No they are not. O2 sensors measure the amount of oxygen in the exhaust downstream. The M.A.P. sensor stands for Manifold Absolute pressure Switch, it ties into the manifold and monitors the amount of vacuum in the manifold and compares the values to other sensors for the timing and fuel settings.

Where are the O2 sensors on a 1999 Silverado Z71?

The O2 sensors are located between the exhaust manifolds and the cat converter. They screw in to the head pipes. Those are also called upstream O2 sensors and in some vehicles they are also called air/fuel sensors. There are also downstream O2 sensors that are located after the catalytic converter.
