it refers to the location of the oxygen (o2) sensors relative to the engine. The upstream sensor is the one closest to the engine. The downstream sensor is furthest from the engine. Think of it as the way a stream of water, or in this case, a stream of exhaust flows.... From the engine To the tailpipe.

There are two upstream O2 sensors 4.0L V6 Upstream & Downstream Sensor Locations * Both upstream sensors are screwed into the exhaust pipe right below the exhaust manifold flanges * Both downstream sensors are located in the catalytic converters 4.6L V8 Upstream & Downstream Sensor Locations * The left upstream sensor is screwed into the exhaust manifold right above the manifold flange and the right upstream sensor is screwed into the exhaust pipe right below the exhaust manifold flange * Both downstream sensors are located in the catalytic converters


Is the O2 sensor for a 2000 Ford escort upstream or down stream?

both. upstream is under the hood, and the downstream is by the catalytic converter.
