Where is the oxygen sensor located on a 1995 Cadillac Sedan Seville?

It is located about in center of the engine compartment on the backside of the motor against the firewall...right above the exhaust manifold. That would be the upstream o2 sensor. The downstream o2 sensor is located somewhere on the exhaust just after the exhaust manifold...

How do you replace an O2 sensor in a '95 Honda Civic?

Some Civic have 2 Oxygen sensors both located on the exuast manifold.First is located about 6-10" below where the exaust manifold comes from the front of the engine. Find the proper metric wrench (Only when the engine is cool) unplug the wire to the sensor and turn in a LEFT turn direction.Second sensor if equipped is on the exuast pipe under the cab of the car.Same as above applies.

dude i would always get the manifold shield off first then run the car to heat the manifold off cus it will expand the metal to make the sensor easier to remove.....

What is the purpose of an engine oxygen sensor on a Mercury Grand Marquis?

This is an educated guess!

It probably regulates the amount of oxygen in the fuel system.

it senses the O2 level in the exhaust too much means lean too little means rich

How do you remove a stripped oxygen sensor bolt on a mustang?

If you mean the head of the bolt is stripped, there is a tool called a back out. You employ it by drilling the right size hole in the top of the bolt, inserting the backout. The backout, when turned, will grip the bolt inside the hole sufficiently to turn it. Also drilling a hole through the bold will take the pressue off the threads of the bolt and with a paid of vice grips you may be able to turn it. I'd try the backout, it's nearly fool proof.

Where is the oxygen sensor in a Mazda b2200?

It is located on the exhuast maniflold.Has a single wire and YOU can not miss it.It is very close to the brake master cylinder for reference.Buy the new part so you know what you are looking for.It is really simple.

How do you replace the front O2 sensors on a 2001 Toyota Sequoia?

Unscrew them and put in new ones. They can be very difficult to remove, as they tend to become frozen in place and are difficult to access. I tried to get Bank 2 Sensor 1 out and it was hopelessly frozen in place and very difficult to access. I will try penetrating lubricant from Kano labs, as suggested on a website. WD 40 and Parts Blaster were worthless.

Where is the map sensor on a 1998 Pontiac Bonneville?

AnswerIt is on top of the PCV valve on the front of the engine by the alternator. (normally aspirated, non supercharged models only). The location depends on whether you have a normally aspirated 3800 V-6 (as in the SSE model) or the supercharged 3800 V-6.

On the supercharged model (SSEi) there are 2 map sensors mounted on a bracket above the rear valve cover, connected to the vacuum hosing. Each sensor is held on the bracket with 2 screws. One sensor runs the supercharger boost gauge, the other is used for engine management. The electrical connectors are identical, and it doesn't matter which sensor they are attached to, other than the fact you don't want to attach them in such a way as to tension the wires and cause damage to the wiring harness or connectors. There is a lot of emissions wiring and hoses that can interfere with getting to the sensors, along with spark wires, etc, so they are not easy to see in poor lighting. They connect to the vacuum hoses underneath, so carefully remove them, as on a car this old, the rubber connector and stiff vacuum piping can be brittle from engine compartment heat, and tear or break very easily. Any vacuum leaks can cause high engine idle speeds along with other driveability problems.

Where is the oxygen sensor on a 1993 Dodge Dakota?

In the exhaust system. Typically there will be more than one. The upstream is located before the catalytic converter, and the downstream is located after the catalytic converter. It may be necessary to lift the vehicle and obtain access from the bottom to troubleshoot or replace them.

Show picture of Where the camshaft postioning sensor located on a 2000 f250 7.3 diesel?

*

To fix it, your going to need a 10mm wrench (or socket with a short 3" extension, experiment at

home to find the exact tool you think you will need if stranded on the side of the road,

at night, in the cold and rain). A flathead screwdriver, and a replacement CPS. Ideally, you should use a 6-point tool, as the CPS bolt is known for rounding off. Locate the CPS. It is on the passenger side of the engine block. Accessible from under

the truck, and located about the 10 o'clock position behind the crankshaft front pulley.

Reach up and unplug the wiring harness, remove the 10mm bolt, and GENTLY pry the bad CPS

out with the flat screwdriver. See picture for location detail.

A select few of you may find an ALTERNATOR while looking under your truck for your CPS.

This is part of the Ambulance Package, dual alternators. Your CPS may not be as easy to

see or get too, but its still in the same place.

Where is the upstream o2 sensor on a 97 Dodge Grand Caravan AWD 3.8?

Upstream O2 sensor location 97 CaravanIt's right behind the engine, in/on the top of the exhaust pipe just before it exits the engine compartment near the firewall. You can see/access it from under the hood without a lot of difficulty. It looks like a big hex head bolt with wires protruding from it that run abot 5 inches to a gray rectangular moldex connector.

^^

This isn't true as it's not possible to see / reach behind the engine on a 1997 Caravan from the hood. It's possible the visualize the sensor from the top, but not easily, and you certainly cannot 'access' it without removing a number of parts. The upstream O2 sensor must be reached from underneath the vehicle by following the exhaust up. It's not the easily-seen one just dangling down under the car. Follow the pipe on which that one is located, up about 2 feet, and the sensor will be up there, mounted on top of the exhaust manifold where it's difficult to visualize. The wire is less than a foot long and you can also see the plastic clip from this angle.

Where is oxygen sensor located on 1998 Ford F150 4.6 liter Truck?

downsteam from exhaust manifold right before you get to the catalytic converter becarfull removing probably be rusted preety badly

Where is the bank 1 sensor 1 oxygen senor on a Chevy Express van?

In general, bank one is on the same side as the #1 cylinder. If the engine has more than one head, bank #2 will be on the opposite side, but if the engine only has one head there won't BE a bank #2.

Sensor 1 is the forward sensor,. It's typically screwed into the exhaust manifold right where all of the exhaust lines connect into the common line. It's about the only thing that screws into the exhaust and if you look just in front of the head-pipe you should be able to find the Oxygen sensor.

Sensor 2 is typically AFTER the catalytic converter. Sensor 2 seldom fails but of course, there are exceptions.

BTW, if bank 1 sensor 1 has failed, you can bet that bank 2 is right behind. It's kind of like sparkplugs, replace them both while you're at it.

Where is the O2 sensor on a 1996 Honda civic ex?

There is one before the catalytic converter where the 4 runners meet on the exhaust manifold.

And the second one is after the catalytic converter.

What tool do you need to remove the oxygen sensor on a 2006 trailblazer?

Where are the oxygen sensors located in a 1998 Mazda 626 LX?

On the 98 Mazda 626 there are two oxygen sensors, one is located at the front bottom of engine on the drivers side. If I remember correctly it requires a 23mm wrench to remove. The other sensor is located under the bottom on the exhaust pipe just behind the cat. converter. I hope this will lead you in the right direction and good luck.

Where is the Temperature Sensor for the overhead console on a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan located?

behind the bumper in font of the radiator at the bottom if you have bumped in to anything feel around in th bottom of the bumper it is probably hanging by the wires

Where is bank1 upstream O2 sensor on 1999 dodge ram van 1500 318?

It is the one screwed into the front of the catalytic converter.

It is the one screwed into the front of the catalytic converter.

Can a bad catalytic converter cause a '97 F150 to hesitate and shake as if it is going to stall while idling?

Check the Idle Air Control (IAC) and the EGR valve. Either one or both might need cleaning.

It can. But it could also be a number of other things. My car recently had this problem, but it turned out to be a firing problem and not the converter. so i'd say have all the cheeper stuff checked first.

Check all vacuum hoses. You should be able to hear the hiss.
