Oxygen Sensors

Also called as the lambda sensor, an oxygen sensor measures the proportion of oxygen in liquid or gas. Scientists use this electronic device in measuring respiration or production of oxygen. Oxygen sensors are also used in automobiles.

Where is the bank 1 sensor 1 oxygen sensor on a 1997 ford crown Victoria 4.6 liter?

Bank 1 is the passenger side of the engine Sensor 1 is in the exhaust before the exhaust passes through the catalytic converter

On a 1998 Oldsmobile aurora where is the engine coolant sensor located?

its located under the reserve tank...and if that is not working and you are for sure the you will have to replace the whole tank by dealer or maybe find on-line somewhere!

Where is the bank 2 sensor 1 02 sensor on a 1996 Tahoe?

The O2 sensers are screewed into the exhaust pipes. Bank 2 is the passenger side of the engine and senser 1 is the one that is the closets to the exhaust manifold where the exhaust pipe bolts to the engine. Senser 2 is further down in the exhaust pipe towards the converter.

What bank is bank 2 sensor 1?

Bank 1 is the same side of the engine as cylinder #1. Sensor 2 is after the catalytic converter.

Why does your car vibrate and cut off when you idle?

Problem is related to idle solenoid. As you come to a stop the throttle closes. There has to be a bypass to allow air to flow into the engine. This is acheived via an idle solenoid valve located somewhere to the intake manifold and it is controlled by the computer.

How many oxygen sensors are on a 1993 Isuzu Rodeo or Trooper V6 3.2?

It appears that the 1993 Isuzu 3.2L V6 engine has just one oxygen sensor. It's a 4-wire type, located at the exhaust Y-pipe outlet. == ==

How do you change a EGR valve on a 1996 Ford Taurus and also are the two forward O2 sensors the ones on each manifold?

The EGR valve is the disc looking device on the back of the intake manifold. There are 3 bolts holding the valve in place, two 10mm size bolts on either side and one larger bolt on the input line. As for the O2 sensors I am not certain of their location.

How do you know when oxygen sensor is bad?

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.

Will a 99 cougar v6 run ok with the catalytic converters gutted?

The check engine light will be on due to the empty catalytic converters not being efficient. On 96 and up vehicles the computer monitors the efficiency of the converters. Not to mention "gutting" a converter is illegal.

How do you stop pinging on a 2001 falcon as have change coil leads knock sensor and O2 sensor?

I had the same problem. Either 1 your intake and valves are gummed up with carbon. 2 stopped up fuel injectors. Or 3 the level of octane you're using isn't right. As a car gets older, the octane rating increases. Buy some fuel injector cleaner, and throw in a tankfull of premium. That's what worked for me. Don't let it go untreated any longer. It'll cause problems.

How to replace 1999 Subaru Outback oxygen sensor?

Unplug sensor--- sometimes you can get a wrench on the sensor if not you will have to purchase the special socket.Genuine parts are often high so you can get the sensor at an auto store directions are included with the sensor as how to attach the pigtail and ude the heat shrink tubing suppied

Where is the oxygen sensor on a 2000 Buick regal ls located?

There are two sensors. One before the catalytic converter and one after. The first is at the back of the engine block on the manifold. It screws into the manifold and takes a special socket to remove (costs about $10). The second is between the converter and the muffler under the car. Its on top of the exhaust pipe and nearly impossible to change unless you take apart your exhaust system There are two sensors. One before the catalytic converter and one after.

What is the oxygen sensors purpose on car engine?

The sensor reads if the engine is burning too rich or too lean by reading the ratio of oxygen and nitrogen oxide. It then tells the computer to adjust the air/fuel mixture for better performance and less pollution.

Where is the oxygen sensor located on a Ford Focus?

There are two: 1 is in the backside of the exhaust manifold off the front of the engine, near the front fan shroud.

The other is the passenger side exhaust just before the and catalytic converter assembly.
