The answer depends on the type of exhaust system you have. You will have either 3 or 4 total O2 sensors on your V8. If you have single exhaust with a single catalytic converter then you will have 3 O2 sensors (2 upstream sensors & one downstream sensor - "up or down stream" meaning before of after the catalytic converter). If you have either dual exhaust and/or two catalytic converters then you have 4 O2 sensors (2 upstream & 2 downstream). If you have an MIL light (malfunction indicator light, or "check engine light") the code will indicate "front bank / bank one", which is one of the 2 upstream O2's before the catalytic converter(s), or "rear bank / bank two", which is one of the O2's after the catalytic converter(s).
SOURCE: Q Where is the Bank 2 Sensor 2 oxygen sensor
Hello j_abell: My name is Roger and I will help you. Bank two sensor 2 will be on the drivers side of the engine. Second sensor back. behind the catalytic converter. Bank one sensor one would be on the passenger side of the motor. See attached picture.Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. This way I know it was helpful. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

their infront and behind the catalytic converter in the exhaust pipe
SOURCE: ford explorer 4.0 1996 where are oxygen sensors
They are located in the exhaust pipe. front are before catalytic converter and rear are after catalytic converter (upstream/downstream). bank 1 is driver side and bank 2 is passenger
SOURCE: Would a bad oxygen sensor
no, the only way an O2 sensor might cause the engine to stall is if the heater shorted out with the power supply and every time we have seen that the engine will not run at all. if you have a stall hot check the idle control motor the year is right for a bad one.....HAVE FUN

NOTE: If excessive force is needed to remove heated oxygen sensor, lubricate heated oxygen sensor with Penetrating Lubricant prior to removal.

There are 4 oxygen sensors (o2 sensors)and they are all located on the exhaust coming from the motor under the vehicl by the catylac converters.
