Serving an important purpose in the regulation of your combustion system, your Acura Integra oxygen sensor is one of many sensors used in the modern vehicle to help keep it performing its best, which, aside from the obvious performance benefits, is also better for the environment at large. What your Acura Integra oxygen sensor does is to keep track of the level of oxygen present in the exhaust that is flowing out of the combustion area and into the exhaust system. This provides an idea of how efficient the fuel burn is, and when your Acura Integra oxygen sensor detects an oxygen level outside of the acceptable range, it sends a signal to the main computer of your vehicle, which in turn sets about making the necessary adjustments to the delicate air-to-fuel ratio, striving towards achieving the most efficient ratio possible.

This is important to your vehicle’s performance because the quality of the burn affects how your vehicle runs, and it also affects the amount of fuel that your vehicle uses, and with the prices we see at the pump today, it is increasingly important to squeeze every bit of available power from each drop of fuel used by your vehicle. However, a properly functioning Acura Integra oxygen sensor is also important to the environment, as well.

That is because when your Acura Integra oxygen sensor is not working its best or has completely failed, the tendency for your engine is to revert to a default setting that is heavy on fuel, and this rich mixture allows more unburned fuel to escape into the exhaust system, which can increase the pollutants that make it out into the air we breathe.
