causes very poor gas mileage
sending wrong fuel ratio mix
co2 sensor?
Sunlight can affect the performance of a garage door sensor by causing interference or false readings due to the sensor being overwhelmed by the brightness of the sunlight.
No, the oxygen sensor and the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor are not the same. The oxygen sensor measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases to optimize fuel efficiency and emissions, while the EGT sensor measures the temperature of the exhaust gases to monitor engine performance and prevent overheating. Each sensor serves a distinct purpose in engine management and performance monitoring.
An oxygen sensor is bad when it is no longer performing inside a set of parameters that are designated and optimal. The oxygen operates in a very narrow window of voltage and provides feedback to the engine to adjust the air/fuel ratio to maintain performance and emissions. If the sensor is bad and returning poor data, the performance, emissions and mileage will suffer.
Go by the miles travelled. Refer to the owners manual for the replacment schedule. A new oxygen sensor will give you better fuel economy and performance.
Upstream Oxygen Sensor heater performance. That will be the first oxygen sensor in the exhaust pipe ( closest to the engine ) on the passenger side head. You need to check the wireing connector that hooks to the oxygen sensor for a broken wire are bad connection. If you find no problems, then replace oxygen sensor.
Yes it will.
A bad O2 sensor can affect gas mileage. It is an emissions sensor, so when it goes bad, it does not reflect emissions performance on the car, which could cost a lot in gasoline.
If it is malfunctioning it can affect fuel mileage.
Just in front of the Cat converter, drivers side.
A fuel level sensor will not affect performance. Fuel level can due to weight of fuel and accumulated heat in the returned fuel from the engine.
