theres 4 total. 2 upstream sensors, and 2 downstream sensors. upstream rear is on the rear exhaust manifold, upstream front is in the downpipe after the front collector. both downstream sensors are right next to each other, right after the collector for the rear bank

I dont have an autozone nearby so i brought it into a guy's shop i know and he was gonna put it on the scanner for me.. for some reason his scanner couldnt connect.. like it didnt acknowledge it.. i'm gonna put it on someone else's computer and see if they can come up with anything... the guy says the only time he has seen the computer just not acknowledge a car was when the computer was gone... i am hoping thats not the problem... i dont think it can be cuz the only CEL i got was 21...

Dont worry its not your comp, it depends on what type of scanner they have. Theres only 2 or 3 shops near me that have the right one, every place else gave me the same results as you got.

thats weird.. why doesnt it work though? but as long as its not my computer i'm good... this is really being a pain in the ass though cuz i just need to know which sensor it is.. i dont have the money to replace them all.. just wish the scanner would have worked.. then its a 20 minute job...

does anyone know if the right upstream sensor is the one right on the back of the engine? I'm pretty sure but just wondering if it is for sure.

The upstream is before the cat, downstream is after.

yep just unhook the negative cable for about 15 min, rehook it, start it up and let it idle for a bit to see if the code pops back up
