If your friend tested it, can't he tell you what's wrong? Is the car driving any differently? It's always good to check all your fuses too.

P0130 O2 Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 1)

Had the same thing go out. There are 3 O2 sensors on the V6 to the best of my knowledge. One per engine exhaust manifold and one after the cat (please correct me if I am wrong, it's been a while).

The front O2 sensor is REALLY easy to replace. It's just below and to the right of the spark plugs. The other front O2 sensor is on the back of the engine near the bottom. You can do it yourself, but it takes a while to get your arm down the firewall and reach it. I've never done the one near the cat, but I hear it sux. You have to remove a seat to get to it.

where can I get a replacement?

I would recommend OEM (toyota dealer). Go to them w/ the code and if they are nice (like the dealer here), they will tell you exactly which sensor it is. Mine was about $135 w/ tax. You can probably get one at autozone for ~$90, but i've always been suspicious of the quality of aftermarket parts.
