Best Answer

They are screwed into the exaust system at various points. Some people say that there are 4 oxygen sensors, but technically, that is not correct. Only the front 2 are considered oxygen sensors. They are screwed into the exaust pipe, one on each bank, after the exaust manifold, but before the catalytic converter. Sometimes they are screwed directly into the exaust manfold itself. The other 2 are actually called catalyst moniters. They are oxygen sensors, but they serve a different purpose. They moniter the activities of the catalytic converters, thus the name, catalyst moniters. They are screwed into the exaust one on each bank,after, or downstream, of the catalytic converters. Any of those sensors, the wiring to them, or anything that confuses the sensors, like a vacuum leak, or engine misfire, can make the CEL come on.

Does 400 dollars including installation sound like a fair quote to replace two oxygen sensors on a 2001 Windstar?

AnswerIt may be a little high. I know the sensors generally run about $75 dollars a piece. So that's $150. So that leaves $250. How long does the mechanic estimate the job to take? If he has to drop part of the exhaust system to get to the sensor that estimate may be fair. If he can just unscrew the old sensors and screw in the new ones that estimate seems a little steep.And... I would ask why you have to replace them?Rarely does replacing an 02 sensor result in the Check Engine light going off - it's much more common for the 02 sensor to be reporting a problem (lean condition is most popular) than a sensor failure.See "Related Questions" below for more

Where is the coolant temp sensor located on a 2009 sonata?

normally in the top region of engine where the cooling water (thick hose leading to the radiator) LEAVES the engine or positioned near the entry of that hose on the radiator(body) itself. it will have a wire coming from it and looks a it like a sparkplug turned into a tap point, measuring the watertemp of the coolant AFTER it has left the engine. On the block itself willl be the thermostat and oilpressure and oil temp sensors. The coolant sensor will be positioned a bit away from the block itself to avoid measuring the temp of the metal, so it's mostly on a plastic bodypart of the coolant system.

How many oxygen sensors are there on a 2001 Jeep Cherokee and where are they located?

On that model if you have a 4.0 inline six there are two.The first is located inside the engine bay on the driver side aprox. a foot after the exhaust pipe leaves the manifold. The second is under the pass. side of the truck in the exhaust pipe close to the ctalytic converter.If you have the v8 there is two on either side of the truck in just about the same locations as the other.Where the exh. pipe leaves manifold aprox. ten to twelve inches down. the other is under the truck close to the cat. conv. Remember the v8 model has two on either side of the truck. look for the big sparkplug looking thing with a wire coming out of it. Good luck.
