Will an bad oxygen sensor make your car not run or start?
No, it will run poorly but it will start and run.
Can a oxygen sensor make your car smoke?
Not by itself. On newer cars, the oxygen sensor can tell the computer to richen up or lean out the air fuel mixture. It could cause a little, almost unnoticeable amount of extra smoke if it was calling for an extremely rich mixture. If you have a gasoline engine and there is a lot white smoke coming from the tail pipe then your engine is either running excessively rich or has a coolant leak and is burning water (some white smoke is normal in the winter, because the engine runs richer due to the cold). If the smoke is black then the engine is burning oil.
Will an o2 sensor make a car stall?
I do not know the complete answer. Usually, as the oxygen sensor is failing, it will cause the car to run rich, so that your exhaust gets blacker. If it totally fails, then the computer will go into a default mode (limp mode), and without having feedback from the sensor, it will make the car run at a fixed rich setting, again making the exhaust blacker. I am also hunting for an answer since my car is stalling and the check engine indicates a faulty downstream oxygen sensor. Since it is $85, I would love not to have to replace it. yes an 02 sensor will make a car stall replaced both on my 2000 zx3 now fixed much better gas millage to
How do you change a fuel rail sensor?

What sensor controls fuel injection?
There are multiple sensors used to control fuel injection in an engine. Depending on the year, make, and model or the vehicle, there could be upwards of 20 sensors used to determine the amount of fuel injected into an engine.For most modern cars, the primary sensors, which the computer uses to determine fuel needs, are the Oxygen (O2), the Mass Air Flow (MAF), and the Crank/Cam positions sensors.The O2 sensor measures the amount of oxygen in the post combustion exhaust stream, and determines if the engine is running lean (not enough fuel) or rich (too much fuel).The MAF sensor measures the amount of air coming in through the vehicle's intake manifold, and determines the amount of fuel needed for the volume of air the engine is moving.The Crank/Cam position sensor measures the position of either the crankshaft or the camshaft, and tells the computer if the engine is running or not; if this sensor is not working, the fuel injectors will not deliver fuel to the engine.
Will an oxygen sensor make a car lose power?
A malfunctioning oxygen sensor can cause the engine to be low on power.
Does the oxygen sensor make the check engine light come on?

Will an bad oxygen sensor make the engine check light come on?

What can a bad oxygen sensor do to your engine?
a fouled out oxygen sensor can result in bad fuel economy, and make that dreaded check engine light come on, it can also make your car "bogg out" / sputter, when accelerating, when replacing, make sure to get the o2 sensor socket, makes for easy replacement... as far as the check engine light you may need to stop by dealership to have it reset, most will reset for free
How do you replace oxygen sensors on 2000 olds silhouette?
The oxygen sensor on a 2000 Silhouette is mounted to the exhaust system. To replace it raise the vehicle and safely secure it. Make sure the engine is cold. The sensor is thread in to the exhaust pipe. Loosen the sensor and unplug it. Replace the sensor.
What is p1133 code?
AnswerA/F Sensor Circuit Response Malfunction!! Oxygen sensor bank one sensor one slow response or at limit. This code is for the front 02 sensor on the side of engine that has the number one cylinder. May be caused by vaccuum leak or bad sensor.
Where is the oxygen sensor on a 1987 Ford Tempo?
your oxygen sensor should be located on your exhaust manifold or on the exhaust pipe near the exhaust manifold, Make sure your engine is cool before placing your hands on the exhaust manifold, It can be very hot!
Will oxygen sensor stop your 99 ford escort from running right?
Yes, it measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust as compared to the oxygen in the atmosphere. A faulty 02 sensor will make the engine run rich and eventually ruin the catalytic converter not to mention bad gas mileage.
Where is the oxygen sensor plug in located?
Not enough info to answer. Please ask a new question and include year, make, model, and engine size.
Where is the oxygen sensor on Chevy pickup?
There may be more than one 02 sensor and they are all threaded into the exhaust sytem at various points, depending on make, model, engine size and year.
Ford Taurus making a loud clattering noise?
