Скачать или смотреть 6 Symptoms of a Faulty O2 Sensor | Engine Misfires, Poor Gas Mileage & More

In this video, you will learn the warning signs of a failing or faulty oxygen sensor in your car. This automotive repair video covers:

What an oxygen sensor does and why it's important for engine performance
The 6 common symptoms of a bad oxygen sensor:
1. Poor fuel economy
2. Rough idle
3. Hesitation and lack of power
4. Failed emissions test
5. "Rotten egg" smell from exhaust
6. Flashing check engine light

Potential causes leading to oxygen sensor failure:
Age and high mileage
Oil contamination
Leaded gasoline or fuel additives
Electrical damage
Excessive exhaust heat

How to diagnose a faulty oxygen sensor:
Scan for diagnostic trouble codes related to oxygen sensors
Use a multimeter to check sensor signal voltage
Monitor in real-time with a live data scanner
Before replacing your oxygen sensor, check for exhaust leaks that could impact readings. Often, the most cost-effective solution is to replace the oxygen sensor.
