How does the oxygen sensor in a Mitsubishi Galant work?
The oxygen sensor in your Mitsubishi Galant calculates the amount of oxygen in the exhaust that is let out of the engine in an effort to determine the correct amount of fuel to use to keep the air-to-fuel ratio of the vehicle steady.
What happens if your oxygen sensor goes bad?
If the oxygen sensor goes bad, often the “Check Engine” light will illuminate on the dashboard, the car will feel sluggish under acceleration and gas milage will suffer. If your oxygen sensor has gone bad, save some time and money by replacing it at home, to get your Galant back up and running as usual.
How do you remove an oxygen sensor from a car?
Using a combination wrench or specialized oxygen sensor socket, loosen the nut around the base of the sensor. Pull the sensor away from the hole where it sits. Follow the wires of the oxygen sensor and disconnect them from the connector clip. Remove the new oxygen sensor from its packaging.
Where is the oxygen sensor on a catalytic converter?
The oxygen sensor is a small object located just to the front of the catalytic converter, which should have two or three wires coming out of it, depending on the year of your car. Using a combination wrench or specialized oxygen sensor socket, loosen the nut around the base of the sensor.

What’s the difference between an oxygen sensor and an O2 sensor?
Some background info on difference of Oxygen Sensors and Air/Fuel Ratio Sensors. What distinguishes Air Fuel Ratio Sensors from regular O2 sensors is that the AFR Sensor is what is known as a wide range O2 sensor whereas the basic O2 sensor is a narrow range sensor.
