yes you do have 1 o2 sensor.......to replace your didt cap, take off your aircleaner and be sure to set it down straight or you will mess it up.......

FYI

Your firing order should be located on the manifold incase you get crossed up. The cap is clearly marked with a #1 that goes to the first cylinder. The cap counts clockwise. Cylinder #1 is at the front of the motor on the drivers side. Drivers side counts 1,3,5,7 and passenger side counts 2,4,6,8 front to back.

Its not hard

The hardest part is trying to get comfy while laying across the engine.

It really helps to lay towels down on top of the engine to help pad down all of the bolts.

When I did my plugs, wires, cap and rotor I had my dad help me out with it. I laid across the engine and messed with the cap and rotor while he handed me each plug wire individually. This made things a lot quicker and avoided jumping up and getting down off of the engine multiple times.
