61093, Bad o2 = bad to drive? Posted by thegame, Nov-21-03 01:07 AM this was from my DP post but.... i have a huge exhaust leak before my o2 sensor, so of course its not reading right. would the weird o2 readings cause my car to run drunk? like advance/retard timing? mess with my fuel? detonate easier? basically..... is it fine/ok to still drive my car? | |

61094, RE: Bad o2 = bad to drive? Posted by Ryan_Hes, Nov-21-03 02:21 AM When the O2 sensor doesn't read properly or isn't working, the ECU runs in a 'rich' mode. Too much fuel... | |

61103, RE: Bad o2 = bad to drive? Posted by etx, Nov-21-03 04:10 AM Yep, it will run rich because it thinks your lean due to extra air coming in. Or a fouled sensor is going to see less air and report a lean mix so the ecu will dump more fuel. | |

61126, RE: Bad o2 = bad to drive? Posted by 96rs-t, Nov-21-03 02:38 PM you should fix that before driving your car anymore, i had no dp sensor and my car would just be drunk in fuel, and the car would stall. just get that fixed so tht O2 sensor reads correctly | |

61143, RE: Bad o2 = bad to drive? Posted by thegame, Nov-21-03 11:44 PM my o2 works just fine. i just bought a new one a couple weeks ago from satan. its just that its not reading correctly because of the massive leak thats before the o2. so thats why its acting all stupid. i was just wondering if it would still be ok to keep driving it or not. if not.... then its gonna be down for about a month. im done screwin with it. its gonna stay put until i get a new DP. | |
