A V6 engine only has 1 convertor, but can have 4 O2 sensors. 2 upstream and 2 downstream. Do a little further research on line with your engine size etc. and you will get all the info you need.

SOURCE: Code P0141. O2 Sensor heater circuit fault (Bank1,

It is probably the sensor before the cat. if it has a heater. The heater circuit going bad is a common problem, it does not affect the way the car runs after it warms up, it is an emission device to heat the O2 sensor up quicker than the hot exhaust gas would. It should be replaced because it will keep your check engine light on and you would not be able to pass an emission test.

I have a 93' Ford Taurus that failed emissions

run the fault codes to find the faulty sensor
sensors that control the exhaust emissions are the HO2S ( heated oxygen sensors in the exhaust manifold/s
the O2 sensor ( oxygen sensors after the cat converters ) and the EGR unit that recycles exhaust gas back through the engine to re-burn the gasses

RadoI have a Ford Taurus 2001 and the car is running rough. I got it checked out and they are telling me that the o2 sensor is bad and I dont know if that could be it. The car also will not go over 40...

if the o2 sensor is showing a rich burn it may cause it to restrict fuel flow to the injectors there are 4 o2 sensors on this motor 2 before the cats and 2 after you should also have the fuel presure checked this also sounds like a pump or filter problem

Trying to replace both oxygen sensors having a hard time gettin to them tryin to figure out the best and easiest way to get to and remove them and what tool would be best on a 2002 ford escort zx2

The "Before" CAT O2 sensor is easy, just remove the exhaust heat shield and you should have enough space to get to it. The "After" CAT O2 Sensor is a bit harder; I found the easiest way to do that is to remove the right wheel and it will expose an opening that you can reach through to break it loose.

Where is the O2 Sensor located on 2003 Ford Focus? Check Engine Light is on and trouble shooter device says the problem is in the O2 Sensor Heater Circuit, but where is it located.

The code will tell you which O2 sensor it is.
The code will point to either bank 1 sensor 1; bank 1 sensor 2; bank 2 sensor 1; bank 2 sensor 2.

From what I remember with a focus, it should only have 2 sensors, sensor 1 will be located before the cat, and sensor 2 will be located after the cat.
