Recently my 97 Eddie Bauer 5.0 AWD has started to repeatedly throw the
P0133 code. According to my Actron PocketScan booklet, this code corresponds to "02 Sensor Ckt Slow Response, Bank 1". Ok, so it is an Oxygen sensor. The problem is, that according to some of the posts I've read, the O2 sensor that P0133 refers to is on the passenger side, before the catalytic converter, and according to others, it is on the driver's side. I've never replaced an O2 sensor before, so I really don't have a clue as to which is correct and I want to avoid replacing the wrong one.
If I wanted to try and do this fix myself, and all I have is a pair of drive-up ramps to be able to get underneath my Ex, which side do I go to--passenger or driver? And are there any known problems that make replacing this particular O2 sensor overly difficult for a do-it-yourselfer?
Also, what I might expect to pay to get a shop to do the work for me?
Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. :exp:
