HYDROCARBONS (HC) unburned fuel entering atmosphere. Gasoline in its liquid form is a hydrocarbon. (raw fuel) misfire indicator (ignition system or compression problem)

OXIDES OF NITROGEN (NOx) are nitrgen mixed with oxygen at high pressure and temperature (2500 F) if fails for NOx EGR or timing problem
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) tasteless, odorless, invisible gas. (rich indicator)Fuel system problem
1.2 for 95 or older .3 newer
OXYGEN (O2) lean indicator, vacuum leak or lack of fuel
CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) efficiency indicator, the higher the better. More it produces better it is
this is straight out of my notes on emissions, on how to use a four gas analyzer. water may also come out, this is natural, dont worry about it.
running rich (too much fuel)
Do not breathe from a tail pipe. Exhaust fumes contain many componentst that will kill you if to much is inhaled.
Cars put a chemical in the air through their exhaust pipe called carbon monoxide.
Follow the exhaust off the back of the motor and on the exhaust pipe it is the first sensor you come too.
It could.
it depends on where it is busted at.
Unburned fuel in the exhaust system causes the backfire from the exhaust pipe.

Not much. When the exhaust pipe is cold, water vapor will condense as the exhaust cools on the pipe. After the pipe heats up, the vapor will not condense. Remember that the combustion of hydrocarbon fuel produces both carbon dioxide AND water vapor as a normal part of the process. All gasoline engines produce water vapor and all water vapor condenses if the exhaust pipe is cool.
Bank one means the driver's side head. If you look at where the exhaust pipe hooks to the manifold and start moving down the exhaust pipe you will come to a 02 senser that will be senser 1. Just keep on moving down the exhaust pipe until you come to the next one and that will be senser 2
