Remember GIGO - Garbage In, Garbage Out. The vehicle sensors act the like the engines eyes and ears helping it make the most of its driving conditions. Consequently, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) can't do this if the inputs it receives are faulty or missing. For example, the engine control system will not go into "closed loop," if the PCM does not receive a good signal from the coolant sensor or oxygen sensor. Nor can it balance the fuel mixture correctly if it does not receive good inputs from the throttle position sensor, MAP sensor or airflow sensor. A MAP sensor (manifold absolute pressure) is one of the sensors used in an internal combustion engine's electronic control system. The manifold absolute pressure measurement is critical to an engine's electronic control unit (ECU) in order to calculate fuel and spark requirements. Accurate and precise air massmeasurement is required to meter fuel mass to achieve acceptable emission control under all operating conditions. The MAP sensor measures the "absolute pressure" (not manifold vacuum) in the engine's intake manifold. The mass of air entering the engine is directly proportional to its density. Density is directly proportional to the air's absolute pressure, and inversely proportional to the air's absolute temperature. hesitation when accelerating, elevated emissions and poor engine performance. The engine will run with a bad MAP sensor, but it will run poorly. Some PCMs can substitute "estimated data" for a missing or out of range MAP signal, but engine performance will be drastically reduced.

What problems occur when your oxygen sensor goes out?
Your catalytic converter's O2 senor won't know how much pollution it's putting out just causing a check engine light usually. Get it repaired it sometimes can cost a hefty fee to get it repaired. You need to change it if you have to get emissions testing.
What health problems may occur from having excess energy?
you can get fat
Which oxygen sensor should you change on your 1999 Chevy blazer back firing problems?
If it had a bad O2 sensor the "check engine" would be illuminated and a code would be set indicating which sensor is at fault. You probably have other problems causing that backfire to occur.
How do you turn off the airbag light in a 1997 Blazer?
By having the SRS repaired by a professional, who will reset the light. Do not attempt to repair yourself, as serious injury can occur when working on the SRS.

Major ozone problems occur where?
Major ozone problems occur in stratosphere. It is where the ozone is located.
My mother-in-law is 89 and needs a blood transfusion. Her blood count is a 6.7. She is on hospice and has a dnr. Is this the point where she will start having problems?
This is a point where continual decline will occur. But, it is not necessarily where problems will now begin.
How do I stop an Airbag light on 1998 pathfinder from flashing constantly on the dashboard?
By having it repaired by a qualified technician. It is flashing because something is wrong with the SRS. Do not ignore this and do not attempt to repair yourself. Serious injury can occur when working with the SRS.
If you have to much fat in your diet what problems can occur?
you would gain tons of weight and develope heart problems and diabetes theres a hefty list of problems that can occur.
How do you deal with the problems which may occur during your work and how to report these?
