Is it a 4 cylender? If so, has the timing belt ever replaced? Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Has the check engine light come on?

The V6 has 4 sensors. I was thinking the 4 cylender only had 2. Regardless, they between the exhaust manifold on the engine and the catalytic converter.

Let me know what you find.

Now it makes sense. Your original post said it was a 4 cylender not 4 liter V6. Yes, both have 4 sensors. on each side, there is one near the exhaust manifold and at the converter.

Sorry for the missunderstanding.
