Auto Parts: 92 Olds Royal, o2 sensors, pep boys


Question
In the 92 Olds Royal 3800 engine, how many oz sensors are there? Where are they located?

Answer
Hi Connie,

3.8L in a '92, probably 2 O2 sensors. One for the left bank and one for the right and they should be located just passed the manifolds on the downpipe, prior to the converter mount.

I have a ten-spot that says there's nothing wrong with the ones you currently have. O2 sensors very rarely go bad and they never go bad in pairs. If you have a check light on and are getting codes, how about instead of asking a mindless question, you tell me what the drivability issues are and what codes the computer is giving you. You'd probably be surprised at the advice you can get on the internet from someone whose never touched your car.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
