If you’re savvy enough to change an oxygen sensor you will already be familiar with the name NGK—the brand of spark plugs that more racers trust than any other brand. You may not have heard of NTK sensors or realize that this is another brand from the same great company.
What Does An Oxygen Sensor Do For My Engine?
Almost all automobile engines built since 1990 have used electronic fuel injection. The earliest systems were very simple. They had a basic idea of how much fuel they needed to send through the fuel injectors based on the speed of the engine and a few other factors and they did just that. They tended to overfuel to be on the safe side, resulting in wasted fuel and unnecessary emissions. Immediately an oxygen sensor was added to the system. This allows the computer to sense if the fuel amount was inaccurate and adjust the amount.
Why Should I Care If My Oxygen Sensor Is Working Properly?
A faulty oxygen sensor hits you where it hurts most—right in the wallet. When the car’s computer suspects that the oxygen sensor is failing, it goes back to the simple mode described above—overfueling to be on the safe side. This can dramatically decrease your fuel mileage and only one thing can fix that—replacing the oxygen sensor.
