any of the oxygen sensors could affect gas mileage but usually the first one in the exhaust pipe on either side causes the most driveabilty issues.
If your 1988 Chevrolet Celebrity has the V6 engine the oxygen sensor is in the middle of the exhaust manifold nearest the firewall. If you have the 4 cylinder engine the oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust manifold just above the exhaust pipe flange.
causes very poor gas mileage
The oxygen sensor is in the rear exhaust manifold. You should be able to see it by looking behind the engine from inside the engine bay.
Not legally. If you do so, the engine will not run as well and will get lower mileage.
There are several possible causes for the engine codes P0136 and P0141. Some possible causes for P0136 are oxygen sensors, fuel injectors, or intake air leaks. Possible causes for P0141 are the engine control module and the oxygen sensors.
There is one before the catalytic converter and one after.
There is one before and one after the catalytic converter.
Yes, one before and one after the catalytic converter.
Among many other possiblities, yes.
It will depend on the engine size. All will have 1 before the catalytic converter and 1 after each one.
Combustion is the chemical reaction that causes a car engine to work. It is produced by fuel combining with oxygen which causes pressure and heat to turn the crankshaft of the engine. This essentially gets all of the parts of the engine moving.
Generally a Bad Oxygen Sensor will cause the engine to run too Rich...too much gas mixed with not enough air. This will decrease Gas Mileage, and lower the engine's performance. Also the Check Engine light will come on!
