Oxygen Sensor Some vehicles have (2) and some have (4) O2 sensors.
When you start looking at the O2 sensors, they are normally numbered something like "Bank 1 Sensor 1" Bank 1 is on the passenger side; Bank 2 is on the driver's side. Sensor 1 is the upstream sensor (near the frame, between the block and the cat) and Sensor 2 is near the Y-pipe (downstream of the cat).
Normally it is the upstream sensors (sensor 1) that go first. They see the harshest conditions. You will need; Oxygen Sensor Socket Anti-Seized Penetrating Oil I have even used a small plumbers propane tank and heat it up and it help get them free. Sometimes it will take 15 minutes or take a few hours it depends on your luck...
It is in the exhaust after the converter.
Under the car along the exaust
in the exhaust manifold or before the catalic converter
Assuming this is a 4.3L engine, bank 2 sensor 1 would be the first O2 sensor located in the exhaust header pipe on the passenger side of the engine.
The OS sensor on a 98 Acura 3.2 TL is located in the exhaust manifold. It constantly monitors the amount of oxygen remaining in the exhaust gases.
The upstream O2 sensor is mounted in the ehxaust manifold The downstream O2 sensor is mounted in the exhaust pipe after the catalytic converter
There are 4, one before and one after each catalytic converter in the exhaust.
exhaust pipe
O2 sensor is located in the exhaust manifold just off the front of your motor. If you open the hood and locate your exhaust manifold, follow it down toward the radiator. you should see a 1-wire sensor sticking out of the exhaust manifold. this is your O2 sensor. you will need either a special Oxygen sensor removal tool, or a 7/8 wrench to remove it.
the exhaust, where every o2 sensor is
No it is not. The mass air flow sensor measures the amount of air coming into the engine. the O2 sensor measures the amount of oxygen after combustion. The mass airflow sensor is located in the air intake and the O2 sensor is located in the exhaust.
there are two O2 sensors on this vehicle. one is located just under the hood. if you follow the exhaust down from the front of the engine, the sensor is screwed right into the manifold. the second sensor is under the vehicle just after the catalytic converter.
