My 93 only has one, but yes, the downstream O2 sensor on all models to date
only monitor the catalytic converter. (least that's what the manuals say)

Got the part online.
$69 from www.chryslerpartsdirect.com and possibley www.buymopar.com
(both are dealers so the parts are OEM)

$56 from www.napaonline.com
(Sometimes you get what you pay for, dunno, claims OEM)

Hey Guys,

For some reason this thread is all messed up. My at-home ISP
doesn't show it and the connect through Google at work still places
this thread as originating in 1997(!). All this has made it very hard
for me to follow all comments.

Anyway,... The battery cable disconnect trick worked. Check
Engine Light is out and hasn't returned in several days. Big Thanks!
for that.
