Once the oxygen sensor fails, the computer drops back to a much less efficient mode of operation. Running with a failed Oxygen sensor, you'll use more fuel and if your state/city requires an emissions test, the vehicle will fail.
Oxygen sensors come in many varieties, and if the heater fails on a heated oxygen sensor it will not function properly.
Yes, Oxygen sensors are expensive. But recognize that by converting to computer controls you now have an engine that needs tune-ups MUCH less frequently. Routinely take care of the components as they fail and as a general rule, the engine will not only last longer, you'll get better fuel economy.

Most oxygen sensors are heated oxygen sensors.

Oxygen sensor circuit slow response (Bank2, Sensor1). You have a fuel system problem or a bad computer or sensor.
Heated oxygen sensor heater circuit malfunction (bank 1, sensor 1): Open or short in heated oxygen sensor heater circuit Heated oxygen sensor heater malfunction (Haynes Repair Manual)
The 1996 Ford Taurus heated oxygen sensor can be found behind the dashboard on the passenger side of the passenger compartment. The oxygen sensor should be labeled as such.
Answerif you are referring to lambda emissions sensors then these are usually in the exhaust pipe, usually in the catalyst, if you are referring to oxygen volume sensors then these are often in the inlet manifold, but this is dependant on the vehicle.supply some more into and id be glad to help.Adamski(adam.francis@snowsgroup.co.uk)its the heated oxygen sensor bank2 sensor1
They are located on the passenger side. Sensor1 is right past the exhaust manifold, and sensor 2 is after the cat.
