I originally bought this O2 sensor for a Ford Contour but sold that car before replacing it. My 1997 Explorer needed one so I used this one. This part has a lot of applications and fit both cars. I used it to replace the Drivers front which had failed. It was easy to replace and now the dreaded "Check Engine" light is finally off in my 97 Explorer. If the threads on the exhaust are buggered up you will need an M18x1.5 tap to clean them up before installing the new sensor. Advance Auto also sells the special socket to remove/install this item.

The wire is several inches too short for a 2003 Focus even though the online website says it's OK. Probably works for other Fords. I had to return it to get the "Alternate Fit" unit, which turned out to be the correct length.

          Make sure you pull the old one first to verify the cable length! The cable lenght on these sensors are short!!!. I had to return one for my 99 Town Car and get a NTK (OEM) because the cable was to short. This added a extra 1 1/2 hour to my repair time! This means that I have a Bosch & NTK combination, not 2 of the same manufacturer

                        My Mountaineer has had issues with the Oxygen sensors. First only 1 went bad but than after a trip to Florida, the other 3 went out. So, now that I have replaced all of them, thanks to the curtious staff at Advance, my Baby is almost back to normal.

Carb compliancy (California Air Resources Board) is very much associated with the Catalytic Converters that is used on a vehicle.

                              A:

                              With reference to this Bosch Premium Oxygen Sensor - part# 15716, the P0171 code means it is bank 1, which is the side that has cylinder #1. You could have an exhaust system leak, bad O2 sensor, intake manifold leak, or the problem can even be fixed with the MAF cleaning. 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 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.
