I have a 98mitsubishi montero my check ingine light is on i hooked up my computer to read the code it reads bank 1/2 P0161oxygen sensor which oxygen sensor is the one on the driver side or passenger side

Bank 1 is on the side that cylinder number 1 is on, and 2 is on the other . Look up your firing order and you should find it fairly easily. And sensor 1&2 refers to before or behind catylitic converter.

I have an 99 Chevy Silverado Truck 5.3 liter engine, and the ODB code is PO420 can you help me pinpoint the reasons?

the code you show is for the oxygen sensors post convertor. replace both the o2 sensors after the convertor and the code will go away on its own after a couple normal condition drive cycles
