What sensor is bad? It could have anywhere from 2 to 4 sensors. The code scanner should give you a code for that specific one (bank 1 or 2 etc.). I don't know where exactly it will be on you're car mine had 2 before and 2 after the cats (dual cat system). A Chilton or Haynes manual will give you an exact location, or you could just look at the exhaust!

There will be one right after each manifold in the y pipe. On obd 1 cars there is only one cat and both sensors are upstream.

JUst replace both front ones by the manifolds(bank 1 and bank 2). If one's bad the other sure to follow soon!
