Is it a 4 cylender? If so, has the timing belt ever replaced? Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Has the check engine light come on?

The V6 has 4 sensors. I was thinking the 4 cylender only had 2. Regardless, they between the exhaust manifold on the engine and the catalytic converter.

Let me know what you find.
