Where is the rear 02 sensor on your 99 miata?

In 1999-2000, Mazda designed 2 exhaust versions.The most common version is the Federal-spec Miata. This exhaust system has the typical, single catalytic converter with an O2 sensor before and after it.The front O2 sensor is before the catalytic convertor and can be seen by removing the driver's side wheel.The rear O2 sensor will be just after the catalytic converter, at the 12 o'clock position between the rear wheels.The California-spec Miata had a precatalytic converter directly installed on the exhaust manifold/header, as well as the standard catalytic converter running the length of the engine.You will find the first O2 sensor directly on the header, just above the pre-cat. It is easily seen from the driver's side of the engine bay.The second O2 sensor is found just below the pre-cat, but before the main catalytic converter. It is easily seen by removing the driver's side wheel.


Where is the bank 1 O 2 senor located on a Mazda miata 2000?

It is in the exhaust pipe between the header and the catalytic converter. That is, it is downstream from the header, and upstream from the catalytic converter. The first O2 sensor is located under the hood on the driver's side. It is located in the exhaust pipe between the header and the catalytic converter. The second O2 sensor is located in the exhaust pipe between the catalytic converter and the muffler. The wire runs up through the floor board where the connector is located under the carpet under the driver's seat.

How do you remove muffler on a 2002 Miata?

The muffler is held be a few rubber exhaust hangers and 2 bolts connecting the muffler to the catalytic converter pipe.Raise the rear of the car on ramps or jack stands.Loosen the two bolts connecting the exhaust to the exhaust pipe. Often the nuts/bolts are rusted and sprays such as Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster should be used.Once the nut/bolt is removed, the exhaust is free to be removed from the rubber exhaust hangers. Some viscous liquids like dish soap or oil, forced in with a small stick or flathead screwdriver can be used to pull the exhaust from it's hangers.When the exhaust is replaced use a new exhaust gasket between the exhaust and catalytic converter exhaust pipe.These basic instructions can apply to any year Miata.


Why would my catalytic converter on a 1992 Mazda miata start smoking?

Is the smoke coming out the exhaust pipe or from under the car? If its coming from under the car there could be something like oil getting on it. If its coming out the exhaust pipe you have engine problems and you should first check the oil level on the dip stick before your next oil change to see how bad its using oil.
