Your Nissan’s engine relies on a well-maintained balance of oxygen and fuel to run properly.
Your oxygen sensor, which is mounted on the exhaust manifold, tracks the amount of unburned oxygen in your vehicle’s exhaust as it exits the engine. It gauges the fuel/oxygen mixture and tells your auto computer if the fuel is rich or lean.
The computer in your vehicle controls the fuel to oxygen ratio through the use of oxygen, fuel injectors, emission sensors, and air flow sensors.
If your oxygen sensor stops working properly, the computer will be lost as to how much fuel needs to be injected into the mixture in order to maintain the proper balance. Your mixture will be thrown off, and your vehicle may suffer some adverse effects.
Negative Effects of an Unbalanced Fuel/Oxygen Mix
You can save yourself a lot of money in the long run by having your oxygen sensor repaired or replaced as necessary.
