Hi guys, I've done my research, or at least tried to after getting a P0135 code. It appears to be a common issue. Bank 1 Sensor 1. Pre-cat in the back by the firewall. Now the hard part.....figuring out which sensor to actually buy as there is no way in hell I'm spending $180 at the dealer. I am 99% sure it is Denso 234-4622, but can someone just confirm this quickly.
I have a 1999 V6 - Non Cali car.
Thanks very much
Hopefully this is is.

From the research I've done heard about the plugs not fitting together.. Dont want to start splicing or anything, just install and plug in...

My experience ( THAT DARN CONNECTOR)
Bank 1, sensor 1 is the one near the firewall, Autozone code scanned it for me and I got the P0135 code for Bank 1, Sensor 1.
I bought the angled wrench 33625246 for about $30. That made the job cake except the connector.
Since I had the service manual, the harder part was finding bank 1, sensor 1. At one Autozone, they were able to show me a pic of the engine with the cylinder numbering. Bank 1 is always closer to cylinder #1.
I looked on the Internet and someone else agrees. The technique is to use a small screwdriver on the sensor side of the connector and push the latch toward the inside of the connector. I practiced on the easy one first. On the one near the firewall, I was able to undo the connector with one hand with the screwdriver, but I could not get two hands back there. I'm not clumbsy with my hands by a long shot. I'm rather ambidextrous.
If you find the magic spot the connector VERY EASILY pulls out. No effort at all, once you find the sweet spot.
I bought a Bosch sensor 13355 for about $96 at Autozone, which the wire was a tad longer than the original. The instructions said to tie it up with a couple of tie wraps. Don't tie it close to the sensor, it makes the wrench harder to use. I shortened the cable prior to installing it. The sensor came with anti-sieze already on it.
If you reset the ECM, you have to disconnect the battery for at least a minute and you'll loose your radio presets. Probably unplugging a fuse would work too.
The car had about 86K miles on it and both sensor 1 bank 1 and sensor 1 bank two have been replaced before within a few months of each other.
I was quoted a price of about $225 to replace bank 1, sensor 1, but that did not include a diagnostic charge and they even said the "Front one" which is the could be the wrong one. It depends on what "Front" means. If it means #1, then we're OK.
