You have poorn gas milage and when you step on the pedal your car has no power. You can tell mainly by it not having enough power
Oxygen sensors go in the exhaust pipes. There should be one before the catalytic converter and one after so that the computer can tell how well the catalytic converter is working.
Upstream would be before the catalytic converter. Downstream would be after the catalytic converter.
tap on it and if it rattles ,its done
The rear oxygen sensor looks at the percentage of oxygen in the exhaust after it has passed through the catalytic convertor. The computer compares this with the reading from the front sensor to tell if the catalytic converter is working correctly.
replace sensor,catalytic converters smell like rotten eggs when going bad
Take it to your local salvage yard and they will offer you a salvage price for the converter.
YES ! as soon as the engine was started , you would notice how noisy it was The catalytic converter(s) are in the exhaust system before the muffler , and removing the catalytic convertor just leaves an open exhaust pipe - extremely loud
i think it's something like 3-5 years. if not have a look on the website u got the catalytic car from and that should tell you.
Yes, It will tell you bank 1 or 2 then sensor 1 or 2 ...Bank 1 is the exhaust pipe coming from the side of the engine with cylinder 1. Sensor 1 is before the catalytic converter, and sensor 2 is after the catalytic converter.
Loss of power, poor fuel mileage, converter gets red hot, possibly check engine light will come on.
Bank 1 Sensor 2 is located on the Right Hand Bank - After the catalytic converter. Meaning its on the bank closest to the firewall and after the catalytic converter. Call any Mitsubishi dealer and they will tell you where its @.
have it scaned by a snapon computer it will tell the bad one
