Hi All,

New to this forum, so if this has been posted before sorry!

I am going to replace these sensors myself and wanted to find out where exactly where they are before I get into the process. Any DIY tips or tricks are much appreciated.

1997 986 with 47K miles.

Here are the codes for your info:

P0140 Oxygen Sensor After Catalytic Converter (cylinders 1 - 3) - Interruption of Signal

P1117 Oxygen Sensor Heating 1 After Catalytic Converter - Below Lower Limit

P1275 Aging of Oxygen Sensor Ahead of Catalytic Converter (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Below Lower Limit

P0139 Aging of Oxygen Sensor After Catalytic Converter (Cylinders 1 - 3)

Thanks for any help with this!

Thanks for the very informatiave post Loren! I appreciate it!

I am looking for which side of the engine the fouled sensors are on, I think it is the drivers side. Correct? Is there a diagram of the engine to show where the 1-3 cylinders are?

Thanks again!
