    My Son's car has a O2 sensor error (according to Advanced Auto) and we
    don't have a shop manual, looked online for a IPB or other and can't
    seem to find clear information.

    Anyone know the specific location of the two sensors and able to give a
    good enough description that a blind man could find them?

    Thanks

    One is in the (top of, I think) exhaust manifold and the other is just
    behind the flex pipe in front of the rear converter.

    We opened the hood and I was amazed, so dang easy it wasn't funny. All I
    had to do was remove the heat shield (4 bolts) and I was able to use a
    22mm wrench to losen and remove the sensor - the bad thing is that none
    of the auto-parts places have the 5 wire version, dealer had 2 and they
    cost $130 for the top sensor (before the Cat Conv) - installed it, went
    to Advanced Auto to reset the code, and it's worked fine since, even
    getting better MPG...

    As a side note, the dealer would not reset the code unless we paid $98
    for the service, but Advanced Auto will check/reset codes for free.
