Where is the oxgen sensor located in a 1989 Chevy Camaro RS?

Ok, I found one in the engine bay, one wire. Is there another one? and if so where? and if I buy the Bosch OEM replacements are they the same or what? some are listed as "upstream"? Am I going to need the special wrench for these?



Sorry guys just hoping someone could shed a bit of light so I can get these ordered and on the way for the weekend .... still chasing the "surge".
Thanks

That's great and the picture helps a lot. I ordered two Bosch and will give them a shot this weekend. Hopefully it fixes the "surge" issue

Thanks

I have a 6 cylinder car, I don't know if it's the same on every car

on the 305 you only have one and it's located on the collector of the driver's side header. I can't tell you where it is if you are running with restrictive exhaust but I didn't need an O2 extension so it must be on the y pipe but i yanked the stock exhaust when i bought the car and can't recall its exact location on stockers

It's in the drivers side manifold, at the bottom of the casting where the connection to the Y pipe is.

Thanks guys I will be waiting for them to get here ... If I start her up and she starts "surging" if I unplug the sensor would I be able to determine if the sensor is bad? Wouldn't it run like garbage?
