Observer
The car in Question is a 1998 Mitsubishi Montero SR 3.5L V6 ( 6G74 ) it has 4 Oxygen sensors. 2 Upstream 2 Downstream, Ive located them. They are stuck pretty tight in there.
I am wondering if i order 2 Upstream DENSO 2344631 and 2 DENSO 2344656 or do i get a Left and right of each so that makes it 4 Individual oxygen sensors instead of Pair.
This is my first post here, Any advice i'l greatly appreciate.

My car has 8 codes regarding Oxygen sensors. on both banks.
This is the car, I picked it up for $520

What are the codes? My 98 is originally from Cali and it has 4 o2 sensors and 3 cats. You should be able to get exactly what you need. You'll want to get them right so the harness lengths are correct.

Not all Gen 2.5 Monteros are California spec. Cali spec cars have 4 o2 sensors each with different part numbers. 2 are upstream, 2 are downstream. You'll have to look on rockauto for the downstream part #s though. The Gen 2.5 parts thread sticky has the left and right upstream part numbers.

Mine has 4, so i am assuming its a california spec, had to return 3 sensors, and get the 3 particular one. Is the Montero Sport 3.5L exhaust same as the Montero/Pajero/shogun 3.5L ?

This is a sub part of the problem and my 20 cents.

I have a 2005 Montero and got these codes -

P0171 - System too lean - http://www.helpforcars.net/obd_codes/p0171_mitsubishi.html
P0134 O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity - http://www.doityourself.com/forum/p...tc-now-p0171-but-o2-sensor-has-voltage.html#b
PO131 O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage -

I got the sensor changed and wallah, no more codes and problems. All the best.

i already have bought the sensors, i cudnt take the downstreams off, i took it to a shop, they heated it up, still didnt come off. So they suggested i change the Exhaust pipe where the O2 sensors are housed, will be cheaper that way.
