What does the air fuel sensor do?
The air fuel ratio sensor is typically in the exhaust manifold or in the front exhaust pipe. It measures the oxygen in the exhaust and sends that information to the ECU. The ECU, based on the air-to-fuel ratio, adjusts the blend to keep it at the prime level.
How can you tell if your fuel pressure sensor is bad?
If you see the engine warning light illuminate on your dashboard, then it could be a sign that your fuel pressure sensor is bad. Sometimes the engine control unit will sense a problem with the signal from the fuel rail sensor. Then it will activate the check engine light to let you know there is some kind of problem that is related to the engine.
What happens when an air fuel ratio sensor goes bad?
If an air-fuel ratio sensor has become “lazy,” over time it will send a delayed signal to the computer, which will result in an overall delayed response for the entire engine. The vehicle may experience a sluggish or delayed response when accelerating, as well as a noticeable loss in power and acceleration speed.
What are the symptoms of a bad air flow sensor?
7 Symptoms of A Bad Mass Air Flow Sensor. 1 1. Check Engine Light appearing on the dashboard. A bad mass air flow sensor will usually trigger a check engine light. This is because the ECU will 2 2. An engine that is difficult to start. 3 3. Poor fuel economy. 4 4. Rough Engine Idle. 5 5. Engine hesitation during acceleration.

What happens if the oil sensor does not work?
This sensor lets the computer know the correct oil pressure is present. Since the efficient flow of engine oil is required to maintain proper lubrication, a failed sensor or one that is not able to relay data can trigger a fail safe mode in the ECU. If it sends a signal that the pressure is low, the computer may prevent the engine from starting.
What happens if your O2 sensor is bad?
Sudden decrease in fuel mileage. A defective O2 sensor will likely cause your air-fuel mixture to be too rich and directly affect your fuel economy. Flashing check engine light or malfunction indicator lamp in the vehicle?s dash board. Of course this can happen for other reasons as well (and a defective oxygen sensor is one of them!)
