The auto electrician wired the O2 sensor in wrong, and the truck ran for about a month at 5:1. It actually put out an orange cloud when revved off idle. You guys do realise that UK gallons are bigger than US gallons (4.54 litres versus 3.6 litres)? |

Re: Symptoms of bad O2 Sensor
Yes Steven I agree it is not easy. Not like the real old days. Drop a littles gas in the carb. and see what happens. Now i guess it is the unplug it test. If things change then it probably aint it.
If a guy misses a couple days work messing around with it (-200) on a job that would have cost 175 then that person shouldnt be chaging a light bulb. Unless; They just dont trust um. Like attorney's a few bad one's wreck it for all of um. I can understand that and a person might say that the price is the reason vs I really dont trust you. I fight the battles I can win. Wouldnt do a trans. Motor out. Not on your life. Im learning the technical as I go along. On one engine on one car. Some overlap from one car to the next and if I can pass something along great. Steven in your estimation... What sensors whould be most sensitive to heat? Should a car heat to almost overheating. O2 sensors being in the exaust would get pretty hot Perhaps one's in the block would be more prone to fail. What have you noticed over the 33 years in the biz? I do know an electric fire (short) will cook all the thermal switches, idiot lights, and coolant fan switches. (live and learn 86 Caravan) If not heat alone. What about heat and then cooled quickly like perhaps getting splashed from rain water or puddles. Thanks Good luck |
