Why are you asking this? Have they been properly diagnosed? By properly I mean did someone actually test teh vehicels and determine that the oxygen sensors are not functioning? If all that was done is to read teh codes in the computer, then you cannot know if the sensors are bad. Oxygen sensors are voltage generating devices and are often blamed for 'check engine' lights being on. It is realy importnat to know that oxygen sensors never commit suicide, they are always murdered. By that I mean that if they really are not working correctly, then you need ot find the root cause of their problem and fix that before replacing or you'll be seeing more murdered oxygen sensors soon. Think about what can affect an oxygen sensor and you will often find the problem. Use a scantool and get a reading for each O2 sensor: if lean, it could be too much air which could be froma cracked exhaust manifold or leaky gasket upstream from the sensor or the engine may not be getting enough fuel. If rich there may be an airflow problem or there could be oil getting into the system through the intake or past the rings. If inoperative, it could very well be that the sensor is faulty. However, an accurate diagnosis is needed before spending money on sensors that may or may not fix the problem.

There are 3 on the windstar, and one in the exhaust just past the manifold on the Prelude. The WS has one on each manifold and one just past the Y where they come together. two wires and about 80 - 110 bucks a piece. Real easy to change....On a cold engine :-)

Jack the vehicle up and locate it. it is not like there are miles of pipe! If the vehicle has an 02 seen from the motor compartment the different 02 is after the precat approximately 2 feet farther down.

On the exhast manifolds... the accord will probally have two. Right off the head.
Windstar, maybe just under the motor in the manifold.
