The pre-cat O2 sensor was an easy install on the Pontiac Grand Prix. Approximately 45 minutes to remove and install. Easier access with hands and tools vs the post-cat sensor. As always, the right tools help get the job done. So far I'm happy with the Bosch exact fit product.

I installed this upstream Oxygen Sensor to address a fault code on my 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette Van (3.4L ). Apparently this sensor gives a low voltage signal to the van's PCM (computer) indicating a false lean condition. The PCM responds by sending too much fuel to the engine. Once the van reached operating temperature, the engine would run rich and surge in idle and eventually cut off. I tried a second Bosch sensor and had the same results. I then ordered and installed a Delco O2 sensor to correct the problem. This sensor may not be compatible with similar GM applications.

Comments about Bosch Premium Oxygen Sensor:
This is a direct replacement for the upstream (before the catalytic converter) Oxygen Sensor on many different cars, mine is a 2003 Impala. It is a direct replacement for the original, you just need the special O2 sensor socket to remove the old one. It can be done without it, but use one, it's much easier. 30 minutes from start to finish is all it took. Make sure you route the wire the same as the original so it doesn't get damaged by the exhause heat.

Comments about Bosch Premium Oxygen Sensor:
Perfect fit but the store computer that shows part did not show location of part within the vehicle. The vehicle has 4 oxygen Sensors so had to find out the location of the one that was not working. Pictures of the part location would have been a big benefit. The purchase and locating the part in the nearest stores inventory was very quick and easy and I am impressed at the ease of the purchase on line. I am happy with the quality of the product and I will look to come back to purchase additional parts as needed.

Comments about Bosch Premium Oxygen Sensor:
This is a great fitting o2 sensor. The draw back is getting old ones out. I would suggest heating the flange that holds the o2 sensor with map gas and plumbers torch. Do not heat the sensor just the surounding flange. This will really speed up removal of old sensors and save you alot of grief

Q:
I REPLACED A O2 SENSOR ABOUT A 1000 MILES AGO, WAS WONDERING IF THEY GO BAD VERY OFTEN, GETTING CODES P0151 P0154 P1153 THEY ALL SAY BAD SENSOR, ITS THE SAME SENSOR I REPLACED BANK2 SENSOR1Asked on 4/16/2013 by GREG from SHAWNEE, KANSAS1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
With reference to your inquiry on the Bosch Premium Oxygen Sensor - part# 13474, for the codes P0151, P0154, P1153 check for vacuum leak(s) at the intake gaskets on Bank 2 and the EGR. Check wiring and connections for proper voltage(s) and grounds from the pre-cat O2 Sensor on Bank 2 to the PCM. However, I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not (solve/be) the problem. For any further assistance, you may also call us at: 1-877-238-2623 or visit the nearest Advance Auto Parts store and one of our Parts Pros will gladly assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.Answered on 4/17/2013 by Vincent from AAP
Q:
Is there a trick to getting this part lose from the exhause pipe or is it purely brute force on the hex "nut" section. I don't want to break anything in the process.Asked on 8/16/2012 by Scott from Raleigh, NC1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Corrosion on the old sensor and exhaust pipe may be an obstacle. Remove the sensor once you've gotten the tool ( Socket wrench, Oxygen sensor socket or 22 mm socket) onto it by turning the tool counterclockwise. A degree of force will be required, but if it doesn't feel like it's going to budge, heating up the portion of the exhaust pipe that surrounds the threads of the oxygen sensor might help. This can be done with a portable propane torch. Don't heat the sensor as well. You're goal is to expand the exhaust pipe and not the sensor. Being careful not to burn yourself, retry removing the sensor with the wrench or socket until you're successful. If you don't have a torch, try running the car long enough to heat the exhaust system up for a while and then liberally spray lubrication oil on the sensor. For any further assistance, please visit your nearest Advance Auto store or call us directly at 1-877-ADVANCE (238-2623) and one of our representatives there would be more than happy to assist you.Answered on 8/16/2012 by Vincent from AAP
Q:
I have 4 O2 sensors on 98 Pontiac Grand Prix.
I am told, 1 sensor in the exh.manifold, 1 in the exh.man. crossover pipe, 1 before the cat. conv., and 1 after the cat. conv.
2 sensors went bad & caused computer codes.
I can't determine if Bosch Part#13474 Upstream sensor, is the one in the exh. man., crossover pipe, or just before the catalytic converter.
It was easy to determine which one of the sensors that went bad after the catalytic converter, since there is only one sensor after the cat.converter.
Although, I am unable to determine which of the 3 sensors before the catalytic converter went bad, as it only vaguely explains that it is located before the catalytic converter, instead of whether it is the exh.manifold sensor, crossover sensor, of just before the cat.conv.
The 2 computer trouble codes are P0141 and P0137, if this is of any help in making the determination.
How can I determine which sensor to replace before the cat.conv.for Bosch Part#13474 O2 sensor?Asked on 5/23/2012 by Anonymous from Massachusetts1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The code P0137 causes due to faulty o2 sensor exhaust leak near the rear sensor, due to plugged catalyst, short to voltage on O2 signal circuit, high resistance or open on O2 signal circuit. The code P0141 occur due to open or short to ground in the wiring harness, O2 heater circuit wiring high resistance, O2 heater element resistance is high, Internal short or open in the heater element. These both codes shows bank1 sensor2. The bank1 sensor2 on 1998 Pontiac grand prix should be located between the catalyst converter and the resonator on the rear side of the front manifold/pipe almost under the cover.Answered on 5/23/2012 by Dennis from AAP
Q:
would this cause slow starting and surgingAsked on 4/28/2012 by Anonymous1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The Oxygen sensor plays an important role in monitoring the oxygen content of the car's exhaust system. It determines the optimal mixture of air to fuel ratio needed to run the vehicle. A defective sensor can greatly affect your vehicle's fuel consumption because it allows the vehicle to use more fuel than what it should resulting in poor gas mileage., INCREASED VEHICLE EMISSIONS: A malfunctioning Oxygen sensor can result in poor air/fuel mixtures or lean or rich fuel-injection delivery, all of which can cause improper or inefficient engine combustion and increased vehicle emissions., ROUGH ENGINE IDLE: For maximum engine performance, proper engine combustion is crucial. A malfunctioning Oxygen sensor can cause a car's engine to idle in a choppy, rough manner. This is caused by the less-than-optimum engine combustion firings that result in poor engine performance., ENGINE MISSING: A malfunctioning Oxygen sensor causes an engine's air/fuel mixture to become too lean or restricted, the explosions within an engine's cylinders will be altered. Normally, an air/fuel mixture that is too lean (much air, not enough fuel) will cause an engine to miss, or misfire, especially when an engine is idling., ENGINE HESITATION: Engine hesitation is experienced only during acceleration, while an engine miss can be experienced both during engine acceleration and idle. A malfunctioning oxygen sensor may misread or misinterpret an engine's air/fuel mixture or air/fuel requirements and cause too little or too much air and/or fuel to enter an engine's cylinders, especially during acceleration. This can cause an engine to hesitate, or stumble.
For compatibility of this part Bosch Premium Oxygen Sensor, Part No. 13474 manufactured by Bosch with your vehicle, please provide your vehicle make, model and engine specification.Answered on 4/30/2012 by Aaron from AAP
Q:
how can you tell you need oneAsked on 3/27/2012 by larry from prot stine lucie, fla1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
If you need to change your vehicle's O2 sensor, you will be having fuel-related problems, Symptoms of an inadequately running O2 sensor will show up when you are performing a tune up and the emission system is critical to a well-tuned automobile.Answered on 3/27/2012 by Dennis from AAP
Q:
I have a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE with the 3.4 Leter V6. My question is the O2 sensor by the catalitic converter does it lusten up towards the motor or towardd the back of the car? The sensor is on the drivers side of the pipe?Asked on 3/5/2012 by Anonymous1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The easiest way to find the Oxygen sensors on your Pontiac Grand Am SE is to follow the exhaust pipe connected to the exhaust manifold. The upstream sensor will be located along the front exhaust pipe before the catalytic converter. The downstream sensor is found right after the catalytic converter on the back exhaust pipe.Answered on 3/7/2012 by Vincent from AAP
Q:
this part does not say weather it is upstream or downstream,i have a 97 suburban k1500 5.7 litre. the plug is correct for my application but is it the right part for after the cat converter,are all oxygen censor considerd heated oxygygen censor?Asked on 3/2/2012 by Anonymous from wisconsin1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
This Bosch Premium Oxygen Sensor (Part No. 13474) is for downstream. The part # 13027 is for upstream (With 4L80E automatic transmission) and the part # 15703 is for upstream (With 4L60E automatic transmission) for your 1997 Chevrolet K1500 SUBURBAN 5.7L .Answered on 3/3/2012 by Dennis from AAP
Q:
I have a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am with the 4.3 leter V6. Would this part fit and work in this car? And when you replace this part do you have to reprogram the computer in the car?Asked on 3/1/2012 by Anonymous1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Yes, this Bosch Premium Oxygen Sensor (Part No. 13474) fits your 1999 Pontiac Grand Am and If you replaced the sensors for just good preventive maintenance you do not need to do anything at all. If you had a code retrieved and replaced them, the code will remain in the computer, but that will have NO effect on engine operation at all. The ECM will respond normally to the new sensors.Answered on 3/1/2012 by Dennis from AAP
Q:
1997 GMC Sierra 2500 Utility truck. Has a 350r in it. it starves & gasp after being on for awhile until it looses power. Thought it was Mass Airflo. Changed that. Scanner:8 codes saying all oxygen sensors are done. Dupe means duplicate
Codes were: P0131 oxygen sensor
circuit low voltage
Bank 1 sensor 1 (Dupe says pending)
P0137 oxygen sensor
circuit Low voltage
bank 1 sensor 2 (dupe says pending)
P0151 oxygen sensor
circuit low voltage
bank 2 sensor 1 Dupe says pending
P0171 BANK 1 System too lean (dupe says pending)
Getting all 4 oxygen sensors will correct the problem or is there something else to worry about?Asked on 11/14/2011 by Anonymous1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The Code P0151 is essentially the same as P0136 and P0137 and P0131, a P0151 code refers to the first oxygen sensor on Bank 2. P0151 means the O2 oxygen sensor's voltage remained low for longer than 2 minutes. This is interpreted by the ECM as a low voltage condition and sets the MIL. Bank 2 Sensor 1 should be located in front of the catalytic converter.
There may be no visible symptoms to the driver, other than the MIL (Check Engine / Service Engine Soon) illumination.
Causes: A code P0151 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
1. Faulty O2 oxygen sensor.
2. Short to voltage on O2 signal circuit.
3. High resistance or open on O2 signal circuit.
Possible diagnosis:
1. Replace faulty sensor.
2. Repair short, open, or high resistance on o2 signal circuit.Answered on 11/16/2011 by Aaron from AAP
