If so, can it be disabled without bypass circuitry? How do I identirfy the unit? Thank you.

Basically, i don't want the computer to adjust the fuel intake. I'm adding a HHO Gas inductor to the Intake, so that I get increased performance and mileage. I have to either buy a circuit to confuse the O2, or disable it somehow. Would it be just as easy to buy the $65 Circuit to confuse the O2 censor?

Yes, it will have one oxygen sensor. They are usually located in the downpipe of the exhaust system before the cat. convertor. Lift the car and look. It will be the only thing that is screwed into the exhaust. To bypass these you have to buy an aftermarket kit to avoid setting codes. Good luck.

Yes, only for a short time like 1 run down the "pike" First, unplug the ECM for 15 sec, too reset the computer. Then unplug the O2 sensor for just one run. What it does is reset the ECM and with the O2 sensor unplugged it is sensing fuel economy and the ECM will read a lean Mixture and try to compensate by running rich ,thereby giving more fuel(which the ECM is designed for fuel economy and by not getting a reading from the O2 sensor will make it faster in the 1/4 mi run

Yes, it does have an O2 sensor(one, I think) on it. It will be located on the driver's side, I believe and it kind of look like spark plug somewhat(in the manifold or just off of it in the Y-pipe) w/ a wire lead going to it.
You can add an O2 simulator on it and therefore delete the sensor. Check w/ Summit or Jegs either one for the O2 simulators. Or use the link below to order the simulator.
Good luck!

It did from the factory. All firebirds after 1984 haf fuel injection, and O2 sensors.

yes. Located under the car right side. Where the passengers feet would be

look on your exhaust close to the engine it should be sticking up from the exhaust pipe . yeah you can take it off but then your engine will run a little rough
