Default Oxygen sensors

I am trying to locate the 4 oxygen sensors in my 04 Verona. The check engine light it on and I'm told I need to replace them in order to pass the emission test. I can't afford the OEM parts and thinking about do the job myself, replacing them with universal OS. Where are they located in the car ? (two before the catalytic converter and two after)

Default Been there!

First see...

Now, get the Zuki code scanned to find out which ONE sensor is probably at fault (doubt it's more than one). The scanner read out will pin-point the location / faulty sensor.

You can go OEM, generic, or universal sensor replacement. The cost varies SIGNIFICANTLY.

Let us know how it turns out and/or if you need more assistance.

Please check with your dealer for any open recalls. There has been many issues with o2 sensors on the Verona. It may be a free repair.

Default I ordered them already

Thanks for the link to those other post, very enlightening. I had the codes scanned at Auto Zone and they said I needed all four (probably lied to me). But I decided to order all four away online. I just need to know where they physically are located on the vehical. I intend on replacing them myself if no special tools are required.

Get a 2nd opinion! All four toast?!? Don't think so. Did the light come on recently ONLY, or have you been living w/the prob? I'd ask the code reader to CLEAR the codes as well. Something fishy appears to be going on. Computer maybe? Have you jump started the car recently? Washed the engine bay? Had OTHER work done? Replaced the battery?

What engine do you have? I'm a GV guy, but someone here can help on the sensor location. Mine were a PITA to get to FWIW.

OK I was following u until u said PITA and FWIW? What are those? I have been living with this problem for a several months. Intermitent at first, but solid for some time now. Yes, I did jump a car a while back but the light was already on. The engine is a 2.5L. I have not had any major work done on the motor. Yes I did buy a new battery 6-8 mos ago, I don't think the engine light was on at the time but can't be sure.

I can post a pic in the A.M. from a 2.5 if no one else chimes in.
