Advanced Air & Fuel Ratio Sensor ⚙️

The Air & Fuel Ratio Sensor is vital for maintaining the optimal performance of your vehicle's engine. Positioned strategically within the exhaust stream, it serves the crucial role of monitoring the ratio of air to fuel in your engine. This balance is essential to ensure that the engine operates efficiently, delivering the perfect blend for peak performance and minimal emissions.

How It Works ⚡

This sensor operates by measuring the concentration of oxygen within the exhaust gases. It then communicates these readings to the engine control unit (ECU),enabling it to adjust the air-to-fuel ratio dynamically. Such adjustments are critical to achieving enhanced fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and prolonging the engine’s lifespan.

Potential Issues If Broken ?

A malfunctioning Air & Fuel Ratio Sensor can lead to a myriad of issues. The most immediate is a significant drop in fuel efficiency, as the engine may run too rich or too lean. This imbalance can cause increased emissions, which may not only hurt the environment but could also lead to a failed emissions test. Additionally, the engine may suffer from reduced performance, eventually leading to potential damage over time if not addressed.
