The 1999 Dodge Intrepid uses two oxygen sensors, one on each of the two exhaust manifolds. Determine which oxygen sensor is faulty before changing the sensors by having the computer in your Intrepid scanned for codes. Most major auto parts retailers will scan the computer free of charge on the hope that you will buy the parts needed from them. If you need to replace both of the oxygen sensors, the process is the same for both sides so you can just repeat it after the first one is complete.

  • 1

    Raise the front of your Intrepid with a jack and support the car with a set of jack stands positioned under the frame. Remove the jack from under the car and out of the way for now.

  • 2

    Locate the oxygen sensor from under the car. Looking up into the engine compartment--the sensor is on the outboard side of the exhaust manifold pointing out toward the fender. This location is the same for both oxygen sensors, just on opposite sides of the car.

  • 3

    Locate the wiring harness connector by following the wiring pigtail from the sensor down the wires until you see the connector. Lift the locking tab slightly on the connector and separate the two halves of the connector. Lay the wires aside and return to the oxygen sensor.

  • 4

    Turn the oxygen sensor counter-clockwise with an oxygen sensor socket and ratchet until it is loose, then remove it from the exhaust pipe. Discard the old sensor and thread the new oxygen sensor into the exhaust pipe by hand to start with. This will help avoid cross threading the sensor and exhaust pipe.

  • 5

    Tighten the oxygen sensor to 20 ft.lbs. with a torque wrench and oxygen sensor socket. Plug the wiring pigtail from the new sensor into the wiring harness connector on the car. Push the two halves together until the locking tab engages and the halves are secure.

  • 6

    Repeat the process for the other sensor if you are changing both. Raise the front of your Intrepid off the jack stands with a jack, remove the stands from under the car and lower the car to the ground.

    How many o2 sensors are on a 1999 Silverado 5.3

    The 1999 5.3 V8 engine had 4 oxygen sensors. There are two catalytic converters on this engine, one on the driver side of the engine, and one on the passenger side of the engine. This is important to know, as the number of oxygen sensors is directly related to the number of catalytic converters on the vehicle. Driver side is referred to as Bank 1, passenger side is referred to as Bank 2. This is very important to know when looking up replacement oxygen sensors. There is one oxygen sensor in front of, or before the catalytic converter, usually referred to as a pre-catalyst O2 sensor. There is also one behind, or after the catalytic converter, usually referred to as a post-catalyst oxygen sensor. So, you have two oxygen sensors on Bank 1, and two oxygen sensors on Bank 2, for a grand total of 4 oxygen sensors.

    I pulled codes with a OBDII code reader and it gave me three codes. (1) P1166- Primary HO2S (No.1) Heater System Electrical. (2) PO134- O2 Sensor circut no activity detected (bank 1 Sensor 1). (3) PO845-...

    You have a burned Oxygen sencer, and the transmission pressure sencer is bad also. Your heater has a bad switchover circuit. Hope this helps.

    What does the code P0420 means in a 2004 dodge intrepid

    A code P0420 may mean that the O2 (oxygen sensor) has gone bad and needs to be replaced. This is not detrimental to the operation of your vehicle but could make you fail an emissions inspection if your state requires them
