i got engine codes for o2sensor heater circ bank1sensor2...
 

and no activity bank2 sensor 2 so would this be that both sensors need to be replaced? the codes were 1198 and 160 i already read the fault code page but what to do ?

also would it be ok to DRIVE the car 1000 miles with the codes like that? my grandmother passed away monday morning and the funeral is in lake charles la and mom is driving down hopefully today from kc thanks!!!!

my condolences ... Just go there and take care of things, the sensors will wait
 

Your engine will run on a default map, gas consumption will probably increase but for a short term there should be no harm.

Will deal with this when you get back.

Thank you ...
 

just wanted to make sure there wouldnt be any catalitic problems you know.. thanks again

which ones should i order so i can go ahead and get them onthe way?

bank1sensor2 and bank2sensor2 are both post-cat sensors. The first one
 

is reported to have a heater problem while the second one is not reporting to duty at all (unplugged?)

Unless your MPG takes a steep dive where the car runs so rich it will plug up the cat there should be no short-term problems.

Have you ever replaced the rear O2 sensors? Is your mileage high enough to just go ahead and replace them?

But of course first make sure they're plugged in, etc ...

its a 99.5 2.8qm with 69k on it
 

the sensors have not been replaced yet

www.boschusa.com says you can go with PN 15738 (same as for 1.8) universal
 

sensor for both banks. Quite possible that your local auto store has decent pricing on it (~$90 on the web).

Otherwise:
Bosch PN 13552 Oxygen Sensor - OE Type After Catalyst Right side

Bosch PN 13550 Oxygen Sensor - OE Type After Catalyst Left side

Considering your mileage I'd just replace both of them (or all four for that matter)
