The OXYGEN sensors are right between the EXHAUST manifold but before the catalytic converters. Apply PENETRATING OIL and let them soak BEFORE REMOVING.

SPECIALTY TOOLS LOAN PROGRAM is available at AUTOZONE.

I used my (40 year old) Snap-On crows foot tubing wrenches.

My car ('95) threw codes for "an oxygen sensor"... I bought the expensive ones with the appropriate connectors... so I would NOT have to cut, splice... or solder anything.

Turned out to be a wonderful idea because it DID NOT fix my problem (restored the old ones and put the NEW away as good-tested SPARES).

(Spares: added plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires & fuel injectors... 2)

My problem turned out to be a collapsing CATALYTIC CONVERTER... which ultimately failed well enough to totally prevent the car from STARTING AT ALL..

While YOUR car is still running you might want to stop by the "muffler" shop... and have them check your EXHAUST FLOW...!!

I'm just saying (would have saved me a couple thousand $$$$$).

Good luck and happy hunting.

Since it is a 1993, you will really have to heat sensor base up to remove it, threads get very rusty and carbon ed up. A lot of the time you actually break the threaded boss(base) right out of the exhaust pipe while trying to unscrew it, with an extended wrench or power bar.
good luck

2001 Cadillac Deville oxygen sensor wiring diagram

Why do you need a wiring diagram for a O2 Sensor? They are 4 wires and when you replace the sensor, you get a OEM. If you are going to get a Universal, it comes with a wiring diagram (GREY go to WHITE) and Black to Black

My 2000 Cadillac Deville engine light on. Engine code PO420

Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)

A code PO420 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • Leaded fuel was used where unleaded was called for
  • An oxygen sensor is not reading (functioning) properly
  • The engine coolant temperature sensor is not working properly
  • Damaged or leaking exhaust manifold / catalytic converter / exhaust pipe
  • Retarded spark timing
  • The oxygen sensors in front and behind the converter are reporting too similar of reading

  • Check for exhaust leaks at the manifold, pipes, catalytic converter. Repair as required.
  • Use a scope to diagnose the oxygen sensor operation (Tip: The oxygen sensor in front of the catalytic converter normally has a fluctuating waveform. The waveform of the sensor behind the converter should be more steady).
  • Inspect the downstream heated oxygen sensor (HO2), replace if necessary
  • Replace the catalytic converter

1993 cadillac deville when i start it it dies unless i push the gas its not fuel pump or filter i just replaced them

It could be the throttle position sensor, mass air flow or map sensor, weak fuel injector, bad spark plugs, or a number of other issues. If the check engine light is on, getting it pulled may further direct you. Goodluck.
