Hi: Here is a schematic of the starting system. The switch you are refering to is refered to as a transmission range (TR) switch. I's located in the left rear of the engine compartment on top of the trans housing.

As far as the O2 sensor, you can check it if you have a multi meter. Here are the directions: http://www.2carpros.com/how_to/how_to_test_oxygen_sensor.htm Let me know if this helps, or if you have other questions. Joe
