Oxygen Sensors

Been ages since I have been in the Forum and I went to do a search about Oxygen Sensors and I can't do an advanced search. My Service Engine Soon Light came on and Codes lead to the O2 Sensor. I know there are a total of 2, and I am trying to see if this is the right type since I saw someone post about a 5 wire O2 Sensor. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

3 wires and I believe there are more than 2 O2 sensors.

There are more than 2, sorry I wasn't more specific. The two that the codes call for are the ones that are adjacent of the catalytic converter. I am having a hard time with this, I so feel like Discount Auto is raping me with wanting 200 bucks for the sensors, but at the same time I don't want to order them online and they not be the correct ones. The mechanics at Goodyear said it's a 5 wire but I can't find anything online that shows that. So I don't know what to do except to just let Goodyear repair it and pay whatever needs to be paid. The Search function on here appears to still be down else I am sure there has to be someone who has dealt with this problem before.

What's the actual code you are getting? That will tell us if your primary or secondary sensors are the culprit.

http://shop.oreillyauto.com/ProductL...=Oxygen+Sensor here is just a quick search. Keep shopping around, as you can see I just saved you 50-150 dollars from a store you can pick up from and return if defective, not to mention have a no questions asked return/replacement policy. If they don't have it on hand they can usually get it within a couple days free of shipping charges. I say go universal and hope for the best. I mean they are real easy to replace for the most part and as long as the wires reach you should be good. You could even just get the direct fit ones. Look up the part on multiple sites and see if you can get a better deal.
