Search the 2GS forum for "Oxygen Location", I posted full pics to another thread. The thread is called "Pics Of Location Of Oxygen Sensors"

You are very welcome!

Where each sensor is at is dependent on what engine your car has. Refer to the pics. They make it much easier to visualize.

I have the same problem but my issue is Bank 1 sensor2 which is the O2 sensor in front of the CAT on the passenger side, Bank 2 is after the CAT(98% sure) I got a replacement sensor from Toyota auto dismantler for like $40. I hope that helps?

No, the bank refers to the placement of the exhaust manifold on the head or in the engine configuration.

The sensor number refers to it's placement in the manifold. Sensor one is upstream of the catalytic converter or closer to the engine block. Sensor 2 is downstream of the cat, closer to the muffler....

That would be the second cat with the sensor on top. That is Bank 2 sensor 1. Open the hood. Look at the headers, it comes down you see these ball rounded things. And the furthest one is the second cat. Hope that helps.
