Your vehicle uses a network of sensors to monitor the oxygen levels that mix with your fuel in your combustion cylinders. The onboard computer uses this data to strive for an optimal oxygen-to-fuel ratio of 14.7 to 1. The primary sensor in this system is your Chevy Corvette oxygen sensor.
Mounted near the exhaust manifold, the Corvette oxygen sensor is the only sensor in the network that is located in the direct path of the exhaust, which means it provides the most accurate measurements. Without the data from your oxygen sensor, your vehicle uses estimated information from other sensors and will typically end up injecting too much fuel to avoid damaging your engine through fuel starvation.
A faulty Chevy Corvette oxygen sensor will not only waste gas, but over time it will also damage your catalytic converter with the excess fuel traveling through your exhaust system. There are a few things that can cause your Corvette oxygen sensor to fail, including contamination from certain fluids such as engine oil, antifreeze, gasket sealant, and certain types of fuel additives.
Your oxygen sensor is also subject to wear and tear through normal use. In most cases, you should change your Chevy Corvette oxygen sensor at least every 100,000 miles, but many drivers will replace them whenever they have exhaust work done to ensure that the oxygen sensor stays in good shape.
