Standing in front of the car looking at the engine bank 1 is the cylinders on the front of the engine. These are cylinders 1-3-5. On the rear is bank 2 cylinders 2-4-6. The O2 sensor is located screwed into the exhaust manifold or the exhaust pipe on the front of the engine.

SOURCE: 2002 Pontac Grand Prix GTP P0171 code engine stumbling at times

Bank 1 is the frt side exhaust manifold (did they say bank 1 sensor 1?),you can start by replacing that sensor,i would check the intake for leaks ,the gm 6cly. are known for bad intake gaskets,you will see oil coming out form the frt or rear of the intake,also check your atifreeze overflow bottle for bronwish sludge,which means that the oil is mixing with the antifreeze.A leaking intake could cause that lean condition.

Where is the 02 sensor located in a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix? The machine says that the sensor is in Bank 1. Where is Bank 1?

The O2 sensors are located in the exhaust pipe between the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter. When it's referring to a bank number, it's talking about which set of cylinders. I'm assuming that you have a v-6, if it's specifying a bank. Either way, There are two O2 sensors, one for each side of the engine, and you'll want to replace both, since whatever made the one go bad has probably done the same for the other side too. Anyways, it looks like a spark plug with 4 wires coming out the top screwed into your exhaust pipe. If you follow the exhaust from the engine, you will find your sensors. Hope this helped, and good luck.
