The oxygen sensor, or O2 sensor, is located in the exhaust system. It is used to measure the amount of oxygen present in the combustion byproducts of the engine. This allows the computer to adjust the air-fuel mixture at the carburetor or fuel injector in order to optimize performance and emissions. Often, there are several sensors; one in each manifold header and, some times, one downstream of the catalytic converter.
It is important to realize that the O2 sensor is a very high impedance device, and that its reading can be biased and/or the device can be damaged, by attempting to measure its output voltage with the wrong kind of meter.

Where is the oxygen sensor located on your 1997 subaru legacy?
Both o2 sensors are located on catalytic converter. Sensor closest to front of car is upstream sensor. Sensor closest to rr of car is downstream sensor.
Will a speed sensor cause car not to start?
cam or crank sensor
Will oxygen sensor cut car off?
Yes it does cut your car off, The sensor is controlled by module that controls everything
Can a crankshaft sensor cause your car to over heat?
No, a bad crankshaft sensor would cause the car not to start and run.
When the tps sensor is disconnected from the car in idle what happens?
When the TPS sensor is disconnected from the car in idle, there would be delayed acceleration.
Can the crank shaft sensor cause a car to stall?
There is no such thing as a crankshaft sensor. There is no such thing as a crankshaft sensor.
Would chlorine contribute to conductance in water?
It will. There is an actual sensor used in commercial pools, (ORP sensor: Oxidation Reduction Potential) that measure conductivity, the more chlorine the more conductivity.
Is your tps sensor not working properly?
A simple test to know if the car computer is working.?æ Identify your sensor and turn on the ignition to see if the sensor confirms the car's computer.
