Let me know who he is, so I know not to go to him.

If your O2 sensor is bad YOU NEED TO REPLACE IT. It tells the ECU what your air/fuel ratio is. It sends a voltage reading to the ECU & depending on if it is high/low the ECU can then add the required amount of fuel, by cycling the injectors properly.

Not sure on your V6. But on mine, I only have one in the passenger exhaust manifold.
