What can be the problems of the Oxygen Sensor?

0

Oxygen Sensor problems are very simple and common. As and when the oxygen sensor becomes older, the pollutants and the contaminants from the normal combustion and oil ash start accumulating on the element that senses the amount of oxygen. Thus it reduces the sensors ability to perform and respond quickly to changes in the air or fuel mixture. The sensor becomes slow and starts performing sluggishly. The other problem that might occur is that the output voltage of the sensor, which might not remain as high as, it was previously, thus it might give is an impression that the air-fuel mixture is leaner than it actually is, as a result of which the computer would keep sending fuel to the engine thus resulting in a far richer air-fuel mixture. This defeats the whole point of getting an oxygen sensor installed. The problems in the oxygen sensor might not be felt at the earlier stage since it happens gradually but then as times passes the problem would get worse and worst. Ultimately the engin
