there is one before and one after the catalytic converter.

Where is the number 1 oxygen sensor located on a 1996 ford aerostar?
they are located either in the exhaust manifold, or in the exhaust manifold pipe usuall somewhere between the manifold and the back end of the catalytic converter will resemble a spark plug except with a smaller wire comming from the end!
How do you find the catalytic converter?
The catalytic converter lives in the exhaust system of all cars. Its location is directly related to the year of the vehicle. The older the car, the farther away from the engine it is located. On a lot of new (2014) cars, it is inside the exhaust manifold. It "looks" like a muffler, only smaller. BUT, unlike a muffler, "Most" catalytic converters have information imprinted in the metal that they are made from. As an example, it might say, D-123-45 86006 09 12 The "D" # is an "EO#" issued by the state of California, the 86006 is the actual part # and the 09 12 is the date of manufacture. It could also say "OBD ll Compliant" It can say many things on the converter, and they all mean something, but you will not see any writings like this on a muffler. One word of caution. Doing ANYTHING to a catalytic converter that would affect its performance, is a direct violation of the federal clean air act. Each offence of that act is punishable by 10 years in a federal penitentiary.

Where is the warm up catalitic converter located on a 2002 Mazda 626?
Pre/ warm up catalytic converters are usually found attached right below the exhaust manifold and before the flex pipe. These converters are made of a ceramic substrate for greater heat protection, while still allowing decent emissions control while the catalytic converter is warming up to the required temperature to start reacting with the VOCs such as carbon monoxide. These warm up converters are generally smaller in size and located under the heat shield that is over top the exhaust manifold.
Is it true that when you use renewable resources they get smaller when you use them and can't be replaced?
no, renewable resources are resources that can be replaced
What replaced the vacuum tube?
The transistor replaced the vacuum tube, allowing radios to get much smaller and portable.
What can cause the check engine light to come on in a Acura RL i recently replaced the catalytic converter. light doest show up that time. but right after a week. check engine light came on?
I have a 2000 RL and the code P0420 came up for bad CAT efficiency. Replace the CAT with a NAPA aftermarket unit. Lasted about a year and same problem showed up. Have talked to many people and mechanics that are know Acura's. The aftermarket unit was smaller in size and doesn't have the flow characteristics of the original. Heard from others that they eventually replaced the CAT with a Acura factory CAT and have had no more problems. I know.... about $700 more.
Where are the catalytic converters on a 1998 grand marquis?
Between the "Y" or "H" pipe and the exhaust manifolds. One on each side of the engine with two converters in each pipe. If you crawl under the car, they should be on either side of the transmission. They will look like a smaller version of the muffler, but they will have heat shields welded around the actual converter.
Will a 350 torque converter fit a 400 turbo transmission?
If you're talking about a TH400 transmission, yes... the TH350 torque converter is one inch smaller in diameter than the TH400 torque converter (12" vs 13"), and you'll have to make sure the holes on the flexplate line up (or drill them for both patterns). You'll get a bit more stall out of the 350 converter. If you're talking about the 700R4, the answer is going to be no.... that uses a lockup converter, which will not interchange with the TH converter.
