Check engine light is on. I had it scanned and the report came out

"O2 sensor responding slowly"

Why is the sensor responding slowly?

and which sensor is responding slowly? Upstream or downstream sensor?

No you dont, you know what side of the engine it is on now, but not pre or post cat. You need to know if it is sensor 1 bank 1 or sensor 2 bank 1
