A labled diagram of the layout of the location of the two components mentioned above in respect to the engine and catalytic convertors used in the exhaust system would have been of immense help to the reader in locating and identifying the proper type of Oxygen sensors and Oxygen sensor/Air Fuel Ratio Sensors.
