95 3.8L check engine light


Hey all. My 95 3.8L has its check engine light on. I took it in to a shop and they told me it was a bad O2 sensor, bank 1 sensor 2. Does anyone know where that is located? They told me it was on the passenger side behind the catalytic converter..
Also they told me the sensor was reading lean, and that the fuel injectors need to be cleaned...is this evident of the lean condition of the sensor?
they also said my spark plugs/wires needed to be replaced...

Thanks. I will try the spark plugs/ wires first, then the O2 sensor, as I have already bought all these parts, I wasn't about to pay their prices I went to PartsAmerica here in my town and paid internet pricing hehehe. I sure hope this fixes the problem.

it is your rear O2 sensor it is nothing you don't even need to worry about it. Plugs and wires probably a good idea overall on a 95 but the rear o2 sensor is a part that throws codes a lot but it doesn't hurt a thing the x-cal 2 usually disables them.
