Common questions

Where do I mount my wideband sensor?

Where do I mount my wideband sensor?

Condensation buildup can destroy a sensor very quickly, so mounting the sensor between 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock protects it from water build-up at the bottom of the exhaust pipe. If there is sufficient space between the top of the exhaust pipe and floorboard, mounting the sensor at 12 o’clock is ideal.

What happens when an O2 sensor goes bad on a Chevy S10?

Oxygen sensors play a vital role in both engine management and emissions control. When an O2 (oxygen) sensor go bad, it’ll cause your Chevy S10‘s engine to run less efficiently. Your S10 can exhibit symptoms when the Oxygen sensor has gone bad. Or, it may exhibit none at all.

Where is the oxygen sensor in the engine?

An Oxygen sensor that is between the catalytic converter and the engine is known as an “upstream” sensor. Oxygen sensors after the catalytic converter are “downstream sensors”. As a rule, the upstream sensor is more important for engine timing and air/fuel ratios.

How to replace the O2 sensors on a Veh?

Diagram/picture would help. Here are the service procedures for replacing both of the o2 sensors on your veh.

Where is the oxygen sensor on an Audi A3?

An Oxygen sensor that is between the catalytic converter and the engine is known as an “upstream” sensor. Oxygen sensors after the catalytic converter are “downstream sensors”.

Where is the O2 sensor in the engine?

The engine computer is responsible for calculating how much fuel the engine needs based on the amount of oxygen in the system, and it relies on a good O2 sensor to function properly. The sensor is mounted in the exhaust manifold to monitor the amount of oxygen in the exhaust.

What are the different types of oxygen sensors?

– Titania: Unlike zirconia sensors, titania oxygen sensors are made of ceramic material. The sensors also send signals to the ECU differently. – Wideband: Wideband oxygen sensors are also commonly known as air-fuel ratio sensors. They are more common in newer cars.
