The Chevy Camaro oxygen sensor works in cooperation with the vehicle computer to help your engine operate at its best. The efficiency of the engine depends largely on the ratio of the fuel and air mixture sent to the engine cylinders to be used in the combustion process. If the fuel and air mixture is precisely balanced, just enough oxygen will be included for a clean burn of the fuel, the ideal mixture for maximizing engine performance and minimizing its output of pollution.

The oxygen sensor works with the vehicle computer in a cycle of monitoring and adjusting of the fuel and air ratio meant to maintain the most efficient engine operation. The oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust system, where it monitors the amount of oxygen left in the emissions that are expelled from the engine exhaust valves after combustion to determine whether the fuel has been burned efficiently.

Using a voltage signal, the Chevy Camaro oxygen sensor sends this reading to the vehicle computer, which will use it to adjust the fuel and air ratio as needed. As the level of oxygen in the outside air is quite variable due to factors such as temperature and elevation, this cycle of monitoring and adjustment is repeated continuously as the engine runs, allowing it to compensate for changing conditions.

If the oxygen sensor fails to transmit its signal, the computer is unable to adjust the fuel and air ratio, often defaulting to a rich mixture.
