Doesn't our car have a total of four O2 sensors; 2 up front and 2 on the exhaust side?

And since its the secondary sensor, I wouldn't spend ~$150 for OEM, you can buy a cheap generic one for $50 at oxygensensors.com, and it will be easier to replace too, because instead of trying to disconnect the plug you will just cut and splice the wires. If I am correct, the plug for these O2 sensors is somewhere under the carpet on the interior of the car, so its difficult to access.

Och...thanks for your replies. Is their an OEM direct replacement "with" the connectors so it's just a plug 'n' play? I'd like to find a place on the inernet where I can purchase this O2 sensor for a reasonable price and then just hand it over to my local mechanic and have them install it for me. I'm not into ripping up the carpet on my car...somthing tells me that if I do it, it will never look the same. lol

Well...I went to the website; alloxygensensors.com and I'm about to pull the trigger on buying all new (4) oxygen sensors; the Denso OEM ones. The total comes to $422. Is it overkill to buy all of them brand new? I keep hearing from people that it is the 2 fronts that effect the performance and gas mileage of the car (which I think has been my problem for a LONG time) but I think my current PO430 code might have something to do with one or both of my after-cat O2 sensors. So I was thinking of just having all of them replaced. I am keeping the car for at least another 2-3 years...is it worth it?

I would only replace the bad O2 sensor(s).
You may want to check here for better pricing on the Denso 02 sensors.
