Locate the 02 sensor, then follow the wire. The connector shouldn't be more than 12" from the sensor itself. (typically)

? lol....that makes no sense...are you saying it's endless? Locate the oxygen sensor...follow the wire that comes out of it until you find the connector. Don't just stop and give up if the wire goes through the firewall or into a wire loom.

Suggested Repair

Locate the oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold at the passenger-side rear of the engine, under the hood in the center lower engine area. Follow the wire from the sensor to its connector, typically within about 12 inches, and continue tracing it through the firewall or a wire loom if needed until the ECU connector is found.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1982 Oldsmobile Delta 88 with a 307 V8 asked where the O2 sensor connector is located. An expert placed the sensor under the hood, center lower engine area, passenger-side rear of the engine, mounted in the exhaust manifold. After the owner clarified they needed the connector from the ECU, the advice was to find the sensor and follow its wire to the connector, usually within about 12 inches, even if the wire passes through the firewall or into a loom.
