Yes. I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado that was making a rattling/pinging noise. Sounds like somethings loose, like thin metal rattling. Took to dealer, they replaced both oxygen sensors pre-catylitic converter. Sound was gone and acceleration was much better. Did not notice how sluggish the truck was until these were replaced. The noise was very annoying too. The truck was only about 2 or 3 years old when the noise started. Now my truck is about 9 years old and the sound is back. So I will be replacing them again soon.
No, a ticking noise could be lifters, rods, piston slap or who knows what else without hearing it.
A malfunctioning oxygen sensor can cause the engine to be low on power.
A faulty oxygen sensor can make a car smell like gas. Oxygen and gasoline mixing wrong can cause excessive pollution. Replacing the oxygen sensor can correct this issue, and improve the gas mileage in the car.
There are two oxygen sensor for Mitsubishi Outlander. Front Oxygen Sensor and Rear Oxygen Sensor
Yes
Yes
you mean that rumbling noise that sounds like a marching band in the distance? ours turned out to be the oxygen sensor and gunked up throttle body
If the vehicle was built with an oxygen sensor, you will need an oxygen sensor.
-Is the engine running? -Is this while the vehicle is in drive? -ETC? yes it stills make noise and i don't know whats going on with it, i was told it might be a rod or something else. i was told that it need wires, oxygen sensor and cat converter.
yes..a bad oxygen sensor can/will make your car stall at idle speed
It's integrated into the oxygen sensor. Buy a new oxygen sensor and you get a free oxygen sensor heater.
