1992 E259 ford econoline
Dose any body knows how and were to fined this sensor?
For and on 1992 E250 Econoline van.

Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) sensor –
and how to cure this? it indicates....voltage signal indicates “lean”
please thanks..

You might want to modify your cryptic question, but it seems like you're asking where the O2 "sensor" is located?
On my '92 E-150 w/302 the O2 sensor is located on the passenger side just to the rear of the motor on the top of the exhaust pipe. I found it easiest to change from above after removing the motor cover. On all motors the O2 sensor is very close to the motor installed to monitor the hot exhaust stream. I've seen some FORD O2 sensors right on the exhaust manifold. Look for a big spark plug hex wrench sized SS device with wires coming out the top.

Thanks ...Club Wagon; the code is 172 and the indication=Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) sensor - voltage signal indicates "lean", is that the same as the 02 sensor?
I found the one you sugjested 02 (on the bottom of the pic, or is it the one on the top?))and it looks like a spark plug. but I don't know if we are in the same page...thanks
BTW how to test and see if is working?

I take that is a 2.9L and what you are looking at is the fuel injector for #6 Cylinder. (in the top photo)
In the bottom photo that is your Temp. Sender for the Temp. gauge on the dash.
The photo below is what you are looking for:

To my knowledge there's only the one O2 sensor on a '92 302. Sorry, but the quality of the image you posted leaves me guessing. Is your's one of those screwed into the end of the cast iron exhaust manifold? Mine is straight down, nearly a foot below the floor, at the very rear of the cutout under the motor cover & screwed into a threaded ring welded onto the thin walled exhaust pipe, just ahead of the cat.
O2 sensors are designed to be consummable, expected to last 50K, but are routinely neglected. They can be easily damaged by contaminants as simple as using the wrong gasket materials up stream of them. The brain has a range of adaptive memory to compensate for aging sensors wandering away from normal readings. IMO if you have any doubts about the O2 sensor's age replace it. I'd accept the onboard diagnostic's Self Test on this, b/c the O2 sensor is so basic to efficient operation.
Under TESTING Oxygen sensor, Chilton's says "No attempt should ever be made to measure the voltage output of the sensor. The current drain of any conventional voltmeter would be such that it would permanently damage the sensor."

Yes you are right it is further down the pipe ...the question now is? any sensor for this engine will do because the one you show is not the same as mine. Kragen offers a verity of sensors for my model ............

What makes you think yours is bad, unless you have an oil burner they last and last. All the code means is that it is reporting a lean condition. This can be caused by a lot of things.
Most of the posters that replace the sensor find they sill have the same code after it has been replaced.
If it is covered with oily soot you can clean it with a propane torch.
Do you have any other codes?

Well I don't know that is the way the code came out,
Here you go what you thing.......
code counting is like a Morris code and I thing i have counted right.....here it goes.
118,118,118,1,118,172,332,118,172,332
I give you all the codes the way they came out.
And I found the explanation on this site,
http://www.actron.com/user_manuals.php
Under this... Ford Code Scanner CP9015 scroll 1/2 way down the page.
Thank you... thank you

Beware of getting one of the universal, DIY connection, O2 sensors, the correct direct fit O2 sensors are cheap enough. I just got a Bosch O2 sensor for my Chevy for $20 & recommend them.
Note that you apparently have a 4.9 liter I-6 motor, would have helped to know earlier. Don't know where subford came up with "2.9L"?
The O2 sensor is between the exhaust manifold & the cat. Subford "though a 1992 had two number codes not three" take my word for it-a '92 has three number codes. As mentioned before O2 sensors can be damaged quite easily, while "oily soot" might be burned off by using "a propane torch" this will not restore a sensor that has been contaminated by a variety of other things or fried by inappropriate testing. They are also subject to aging & routinely need to be replaced in a 15 year old vehicle. Once you find the O2 sensor you might be able a judge it is to old just by it's appearance. IF its been in place for 100K the hex flats may well be rusted to an new undersize. IF you intend to keep this van for awhile a new O2 sensor is a good investment, since it helps assure efficiency.
