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...
The oxygen sensor for bank 1 sensor 1 for a 2000 mercury mountaineer is on the cylinder #1 side.
driver side
bank 1 sensor 2 is after the cat
Bank 1 sensor 2 would be the sensor after the behind the catalytic converter.
Bank 1 is the driver side.
The 2000 Mazda Miata O2 sensor bank 1 is located on the firewall in the engine compartment. The sensor can be found on the passenger side of the firewall.
Bank 1 is the passenger side of the engine in your 2000 Ford Mustang V6 Sensor 1 is before the catalytic converter ( upstream ) Sensor 2 is after the catalytic converter ( downstream )
Bank 2 is the side of the engine that faces the front of the vehicle, sensor 1 is the upper sensor, it is in the exhaust manifold
That should be the sensor after the catalytic converter.
That should be the sensor located after the catalytic converter.
Bank 1 is the bank of cylinders that has contains the number one cylinder which in your case would be the drivers side bank of cylinders. The O2 sensor for bank 1 sensor 1 is located in the exhaust pipe directly after the drivers side exhaust manifold.
Bank 1 refers to the location of the bank of cylinders that contain the #1 cylinder. Sensor 2 refers to the Oxygen sensor after the catalytic converter. Bank 1 is the left side of the engine, in this case against the firewall, and Sensor 2 is past the catalytic converter on that bank.
