Do you know this because of a code. If youre losing power youd feel it stumbling a bunch under acccel, and youd be broke from gas mileage. The drivers side is very easy, but bank 2 is passenger, its a little tougher, but just get a crescent wrench or open end (17 or 18mm i think), jack the car up and 10 minutes youre done.

I'm gonna be yanking that same o2 sensor this weekend...just go to autozone and rent a 7/8 o2 sensor socket and pop it off. I check the price of those pre cat o2s and they run $62 with an employee discount. Autozone has Bosch o2s for $59.00.

Hard to tell..you have to use a scanmaster and take a look at your O2 readings.

Sam Taylor ships fast..that's where I got mine too.
