Default which oxygen sensor from advance auto would you get

If I can avoid spending almost $400 for all 4 sensors I would.The part on trademotion/carson toyota is about $122-$184 each.This is for a 1995 ls 400 and I am getting codes PO135,PO420 and PO430 and I am almost certain the sensors are bad.Which side of the engine or oxygen sonsor is bank 1?
Which sensors have you guys bought from advanced auto parts that worked for you.I already changed out the tranny and I don't have $400 to spend on sensors.

Default Are you sure they will fit without any issues.

Have you personally tred them in your CAR?I say this because I bought some unversal ones from ebay 4 yrs ago when I had my 1990LS and that o2 sensor kept killing my fuel injection fuse.It would trip the fuse without even cranking.Have you personally used this DENSO in your vehicle?

sounds like you had them wired wrong. if you wire the 12v to the 5v line on the sensor itll pop the fuse due to the much lower resistance causing a much higher current draw.

The Denso sensors from Rockauto come in 2 versions..Vesion A is plug and play with the Lexus plugs OR version B (less expensive) has no connectors so you have to use the connectors from the bad o2 sensors and splice them on to the Densos...
