so are you talking upstream or downstream o2 sensor? upstream, the one on the downpipe, or the downstream, the one right by the cat? i would suggest taking off any heat shields around the area. that could make it alot easier.

if there was a heat shield ... its down stream .. i was told you have to look under the drivers side carpet .

if it's downstream then just get your ass under the car, it's right freaking there, right on the exhaust pipe by the catalytic converter.

yeah i know ... i was down there forever .. obviously you have never been down there . b/c the o2 goes from the exhaust pipe , to where the cord runs into a 1 inch hole , and there is no way to get up in there.

either use a scan tool and clear the code, or unplug the battery for 15 minutes.:wary
