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.

I had the exact same problem on my 1996 civic hatch 1.6 liter 4cyl. It was a simple fix once I found the problem. If you look under the intake manifold at the rear of the engine there is a pack of wires. This pack rubs on the bottom of the intake and crates a short which screws up the speedo, sets of the check engine light and gives a trouble code (if you know how to read the check engine flashes) that there is a problem with the O2 sensor, and somtimes the headlights would surge. Just crawl under the car when it is up on stands and gently turn over the pack of wires under the intake to expose the bare wire or wires. Tape them up and away you go. My car had 230,000 km when this problem occured. It was a royal pain to find but a cheap easy fix.
Where is the o2 sensor for 1993 accord?
It is located on the exhaust piping on the underside of the car just past the transmission and such. It is on the "up" side of the piping, making it slightly difficult to find. It will look similar to a spark plug and have 1 wire leading up from it.
Where can you find a wiring diagram for oxygen sensors?
Find the manufacturers information from the different vendors through NAPA or O'Reilly's. Then you can typically find the information via the web.

How do you change oxygen sensor on vw golf mk4?
Buy an oxygen sensor, some antiseize compound, and a sensor wrench. Unplug the wire from the car. Unscrew the old sensor. Put a little antiseize compound only on the sensor threads, Screw it in hand tight plus a half turn more, plug it in and you're done.
Where is the cam sensor on a 1998 4 wheel drive Chevrolet Z71 pickup truck?
This sensor is actually located inside of the distributer cap under the rotor button. To change this part remove the distubuter cap and rotor button only 2 star screws holding each part. Once you remove the rotor button you will notice the cam sensor. This part is also held by 2 not 4 star screws but does not come directly out once the screws are removed. You will notice a notch on top of the distributer. This notch need to be aligned with the cam sensor. Align the notch by turning the ignition slightly until the small notch is aligned with the sensor, then you can remove the 2 screws and the sensor. Takes about 20 minutes from start to finish. I found it extremly helpful to have the manual, this book will tell you where everything is and how tho fix it and it is not hard to follow. Good Luck NEW ANSWER: THE CAM SENSOR is in the timing cover. On the left side when standing in front of engine.
Where is the oxygen sensor located on 1995 Chrysler LeBaron?
The 1995 Lebaron came with the 3.0L V6 engine only. The oxygen sensor is behind and below the engine low to the firewall. Removal of the air filter box is necessary to access the sensor. A specific O-sensor socket with a slit in the side is used to install the sensor without damaging the wires. If you are not keeping the old O-sensor wires intact then use a regular deep-set 7/8in socket to remove the sensor if the slit-socket spreads to much to remove it. Just cut the wires off so the regular socket fits over the sensor. Fun, Huh?
Where is bank1 sensor 1 located on 2002 ford f-150 4.2 liter engine?
Bank 1 is the passenger side of your engine in a Ford F-150 ( V6 and V8 )
Sensor 1 is in the exhaust close to the engine before the exhaust enters the catalytic converter
How do you know which oxygen sensor is not good from a Chevy Venture?
The code thrown will tell you which one is bad. Codes p0130 thru p0135 all refer to the upstream sensor under your coil packs. Codes p0136 thru p0141 all refer to the downstream sensor under the van.
How do you tell when your catalytic Converter is bad in your 94 ford ranger 30?
Loss of power and hard to obtain high speed possible overheating and poor fuel mileage. shake it and see if it rattles, sometimes the honeycomb things fall of and block up the exhaust You'll also get a check engine warning light when you lose power.
u need to know what codes its reading go to auto zone and have it read for free
Can oxygen sensors affect gas mileage on 2003 Subaru Forester?
Absolutely. Not just on Subaru but every car built that has an oxygen sensor. And they all do.
Where is 02 sensor on 1995 Dodge Ram van?
In the exhaust pipe at the front of the catalytic converter.
In the exhaust pipe at the front of the catalytic converter.
How many oxygen sensors does an 1987 Chevy Caprice have?
One, it is located usually just underneath the #5 spark plug, bolted into the exhaust manifold, it will have a "pigtail" wire that connects it to the wiring harness, be careful here, you may have to jack the car up to access the pigtail's connector, as it is usually easier to get to it from there.
Once you disconnect the pigtail, Ox sensor removal tool is available at auto zone, I use a deep socket 1/2 drive, 13/16" to pull mine, but the tool makes the first timer remove and replace the Ox sensor without breaking it, especially when you replace the it with a new one, as they are very delicate, if you need to diagnose whether it is working as it should, there is a simple method using the check engine light, respond to this and I will explain how to do this.
Where is the bank 1 O2 sensor for a 2001 Toyota Tacoma V6 4x4?
2001 Toyota tacoma bank 1 means that it is located before the cadalic converter.
Can a bad 02 sensor cause your engine to make a noise?
Not likely. A bad O2 sensor would illuminate the check engine light and the engine performance would suffer.
Battery light comes on and you have had the allternator replaced what could be the problem?
Is this a Ford? (have had some problems by not using factory rebuilts)
Check alternator output
Should read approx. 12.8 without engine running
Should read 13.8-14.2 with engine running
Diagram for oxygen sensor location 2003 Galant?
there are 2 oxygen sensors on this car. the first is on the front of engine where it is mounted in the exhaust monifold. the second one is on the exhuast pipe right next to the cat. converter. you can't miss em, they stick out about 2 inches, and there is a wire connected.
Where is the number 1 oxygen sensor located on a 1996 ford aerostar?
they are located either in the exhaust manifold, or in the exhaust manifold pipe usuall somewhere between the manifold and the back end of the catalytic converter will resemble a spark plug except with a smaller wire comming from the end!
How can to fix O2 sensors to pass emissions the fuse for O2 keeps blowing out?
The fuse is blowing out because the wire for the O2 sensor is shorting to ground. Replace the entire wire (trace it through the wiring harness) and the connector for the sensor.
Where is the 02 sensor on a Chevy G-20 with 350 V8?
depends on the year some have 2 of them one behind the catalytic converter and one on the driver side exhaust just above the where the y pipe connects
Where is the converter located on a 1993 holiday rambler?
On the Alumalite it is located under the kitchen sink, front wall of the trailer.
Where is the knock sensor on a 1999 Lexus rx 300?
under the intake manifold. Here is a write-up on how to replace it. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41266&mode=linear
How do you change Oxygen sensor on 2003 ford escort?
most of the ones that i have changed are the same. there is an electrical lead coming from the o2 sensor with a connector. unplug this lead. if yours has no connector you will probably have to cut the lead. make sure you look at the color coded wires because the new 02 sensor has to connect in same fashion. the auto parts store should have a special socket for o2 sensor. the replacement o2 sensor depending on vendor will be a oem type replacement, or a generic. both shold ave wiring information to make job simple. 1. disconnect lead. 2. remove sensor (may need to remove heat shield if in way.) 3. replace sensor. 4. connect lead. 5. codes will probably have to be reset otherwise will continue to show o2 problem
