Top Symptoms and Causes of a Bad Oxygen Sensor - DIY Fixes

#oxygensensor #o2sensor #diyfix
Oxygen sensor plays a vital role to ensure the proper combustion of the air-fuel mixture. The main function of the oxygen sensor is to continuously measure the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gases to determine if the engine is running with a lean or rich mixture. This feedback allows the ECU to adjust the amount of fuel being injected into the engine to maintain the correct air-fuel ratio for efficient combustion.
When the oxygen sensor becomes faulty, it may trigger a trouble code such as P0030, P0031, P0032, P0036, P0051, or P0052. In this video, we discuss the bad O2 sensor symptoms, causes, and some DIY fixes to get your car back on the road.

2) Poor Fuel Efficiency
3) Rough Idle or Misfiring
4) Increased Emissions
5) Black Smoke from the Exhaust
6) Sulfur or Rotten Egg Smell
