#61093, "Bad o2 = bad to drive?"


          

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?

When the O2 sensor doesn't read properly or isn't working, the ECU runs in a 'rich' mode. Too much fuel...

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.

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

When my O2 sensor crapped out, I simply had bad gas mileage and a CEL. Just replace it, no bog deal.

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.
