Yes, the Taurus can run without the catalytic converter--it is not necessarily good for the engine, but disconnecting it will cause it to fail emissions testing. If you've seen the Honda Civics running around smoking like a factory, this is caused by no electrolytic converter. The O2 sensor could be in the exhaust pipe between the manifold and converter.
That would be the O2 sensor after the catalytic converter. This sensor monitors the efficiency of the catalytic converter.
The oxygen sensor on a 1999 Honda Civic is located on top of the catalytic converter. The catalytic converter is under the car.
Usually after your catalytic converter. Usually after your catalytic converter.
The second oxygen sensor is now used downstream of the catalytic converter to monitor converter operating efficiency.
Bank 1 sensor 2 is the sensor after the catalytic converterBank 1 sensor 2 is the sensor after the catalytic converter
Post is the O2 sensor located behind the converter and Pre is the sensor located in front of the converter. Sometimes also referred to as upstream and downstream.
I believe bank 1 sensor 1 is Passenger side before catalytic converter. sensor 2 is after catalytic converter. bank 2 sensor 1 is Driver side before catalytic converter. sensor 2 is after catalytic converter.
You need to change the downstream sensor that is after the Catalytic Converter
Sensor 1 would be before the catalytic converter ( upstream ) Sensor 2 is after the catalytic converter ( downstream )
It is ILLEGAL to remove the Catalytic Converter without replacing it with a new one.It is ILLEGAL to remove the Catalytic Converter without replacing it with a new one.
Depends on what the problem is or what code was set.
I believe there are ( 4 ) Bank 1 is the passenger side of the engine , sensor 1 is before the catalytic converter ( upstream ) and sensor 2 is after the catalytic converter ( downstream ) Bank 2 is the driver side of the engine , sensor 1 is before the catalytic converter ( upstream ) and sensor 2 is after the catalytic converter ( downstream ) The 2 sensors before the catalytic converter are used for air / fuel ratio for the engine The 2 sensors after the catalytic converter are called catalyst monitors
