Oxygen sensors

Just got my spark plugs replaced and the front 3 were white and rear 3 were normal. The service engine light is on and scan tool says there is a bad sensor. Is there 1 or 2 on this car? And would it make sense that it would be the front sensor since the front 3 spark plugs were white? Any write-ups on how to install the sensor?

post up the code so we know which o2 sensor is bad. youve got a 2k1 which is cali spec so youve got 4 o2 sensors. 2 primaries and 2 secondaries.

The garage told me it was the Sensor 1, Bank 2. Where would that be located? Would it be hard to install?

Dukee- I just had the same one go on me. I will be putting it in tomorrow. I had the sensor 2 bank 2 go (red coverd sensor) about two months ago and install was not bad at all. I believe the sensor you want has the white heat cover. I used all the same hangers too. Took about 15-20 minutes the first time. I haven't checked my plugs yet.
