I am looking for my o2 censors im my 1998 Ford Taurus and would like some help.
The 1992 Ford Taurus has two oxygen (O2) sensors. Both O2 sensors are located upstream of the catalytic converter with one on each exhaust bank.
In the exhaust pipes attached to the exhaust headers.
That is a heated O2 sensor.
how many wires in and o2 censor and where are the o2 censors located in a buick rendezvous
i just LEARNED THAT THERE ARE TWO O2 CENSORS ON A 99' FORD ESCORT THEY ARE EASY TO CHANGE. ONE IS RIGHT BELOW THE CAD CONVERTER AND THE SECOND ONE IS LOCATED ON THE MANIFOLD. JUST DISSCONNECT THE WIRES AND UNSCREW THE O2 CENSOR. THEN REPLACE IT.
A Bosch O2 sensor, from NAPA, is $91 here in southwest Washington.
The attached to the "Related Question" below has links to Autozone's Chiltons Repair Manual - specifically the O2 sensor sections. Not only covers installation, but there are instructions on testing.
You must mean Oxygen sensors. There are 2 upsteam (O2 sensors) and there are 2 downstream (catalyst moniters).
That code indicates a fault in the 'downstream heated O2 sensor' , bank 2.That code indicates a fault in the 'downstream heated O2 sensor' , bank 2.
You need to change the downstream sensor that is after the Catalytic Converter
The O2 sensor on a 2004 Ford Taurus is typically located in the exhaust system. There are usually two sensors: one upstream (pre-catalytic converter) and one downstream (post-catalytic converter). The upstream sensor is located on the exhaust manifold or just before the catalytic converter, while the downstream sensor is found after the catalytic converter. You may need to lift the vehicle for better access, especially to the downstream sensor.
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.
