 Know When to Replace Your Oxygen Sensor

  Here are some fast and reliable diagnostic procedures which you can use to check out most oxygen sensors. A great time to do his is when you are performing a tune-up. The following symptoms will help tip you off to a failed oxygen sensor:
   
 
  •   Surging and/or hesitation
  •  
  •   Poor or a decline in fuel econmy
  •  
  •   Failed exhaust emissions testing
  •  
  •   Premature failure of the catalytic converter (rotten egg smell)
  •  
  •   Indicator "idiot" check engine lights coming on
  •    
       Replacement Intervals
       
      Replace unheated oxygen sensors on 1976 to early 1990s vehicles every 30,000 - 50,000 miles Heated (1st generation) oxygen sensors on mid-1980s to mid-1990s vehicles every 60,000 miles Heated (2nd generation) oxygen sensors on mid-1990s and newer vehicles every 100,000 miles.
       
      Keeping the OEM oxygen sensor fresh may improve fuel economy as much as 10%-15% (which can save $100 each year in fuel costs on average). Keeping the sensor in good operating condition will also minimize exhaust emissions, reduce the risk of costly damage to the catalytic converter and ensure peak engine performance (no surging or hesitating).
       
      For these reasons, the oxygen sensor should be considered a "tune-up" replacement item just like spark plugs, especially on older vehicles (those built before the mid-1990s).
       
      Tips to Remember Follow these steps and you're well on your way to passing emissions with flying colors and saving money in fuel costs & repair bills:
       
      #1: Increased fuel consumption, engine problems (hesitation or       surging), "Check Engine Light" lit or emissions test failure       could all be signs of an oxygen sensor in need of       replacement.
       
      #2: Checking the operation of the oxygen sensor and feedback       control system should always be a priority anytime a vehicle       fails an emissions test due to high HC or CO.
