Default Missing an o2? Upsteam/Downstream?

Being around on this forum, I know the concept has been beat to death. Trust me, I know. But, not one thread on this specific issue. To begin, I had no O2 sensor after my cat. Not a big issue I realize, but just found it strange. Second, My o2's are SHOTTTTT. So, I went to Bennett Auto (FL auto parts store) and asked for O2's. From what I see, I only have 2 sensors... one before/after ( can't remember) the pre-cats on the manifold and one further down the down pipe. Well, the counter lady gave me the option of downstream/upstream. Does it really matter? Right now my Jeep does this lol.

Selecct an O2S with EXACT FIT features. Don't use Universal fit crap.

The upstream O2S has a longer pigtail than the downstream O2S. And the downstream O2S connector should have a screw-like plastic gizzy on it for attachment to the downstream O2S dog house.

If you have a choice use NTK Sensors (Original factory equipment).

So the downstream one is the lower run, and upstream is the pre-cat one?

Yep.

Assuming this is for the 2001 in your profile the part numbers for the NTK's which are OEM are 23151 and 23099. They run about $30-35 each.

Damn I wish I could buy parts where you are. I have to pick up the 23151 today and it is $51.75 at the local NAPA store!
