Wow, that is a very broad question! Sometimes I wish I could connect my laptop to my truck and it tell me exactly what to replace--dream on, right?
I just replaced the O2 sensor on my 1991 Nissan truck. I changed it for several reasons:
irratic idle (sometimes very fast, rough, or very low)
outrages gas consumption!! I can literally watch the needle lay down... :( , remember, this truck has a four banger...I say can because AFTER I changed it, gas use is still unchanged (this broke my heart). I used a 1 meter cheater bar on it to loosen it, then the base and 02 sensor came out together with the threads looking like butter on both..02 nightmare!
surging on take off (the truck bucked a little once the light turned green)
engine light comes on (this is one of many reasons why that bothersome little red eye winks at you)
Good luck, whomever posted this question..I hope this at least gets you started.
Durango down south...

If the vehicle was built with an oxygen sensor, you will need an oxygen sensor.
To answer this i will need to know whatsize engine you have.
You will know, You'll get a fault code on your (OBC) on board computer system.
You need to take a wrench to loosen the oxygen sensor, then you will need to disconnect the cord. Once you have done that you will then pull out the old oxygen sensor.
Need to know year and engine for specific answer. general answer is that there is usually one sensor on the exhaust manifold(s) and one sensor behind the catalytic converter.
You can not successfully clean an oxygen sensor. You need to replace it.
No, it is not a knock sensor at all. An AF (Air/Fuel Ratio) sensor is also know as a wide range oxygen sensor. It is the newer type oxygen sensor.
You will have the check engine light on. Oxygen sensors throw very specific codes. Basically you need to use an error code reader. I did and it said the o2 sensor, in my Volvo 2001 s40 has two of them and I need to know which one to change?
There are four oxygen sensors screwed into the converter assemblies. You need to know which one is faulty before attempting to replace them.
Which oxygen sensor? There are two of them. They each have 4 wires and each wire has two colors. There were two models of the f250 also, need to know engine size. Sorry.
The oxygen sensor on any vehicle is located on under the car on the top of the muffler pipe just behind the cadallidic converter....do you know what the oxygen sensor looks like so you know what you're looking for?
Need to know what code(s) were set and which O2 sensor you changed in order to help you.
