Signs of a faulty Oxygen Sensor
Poor performance
No one likes poor performance. That includes you, and it certainly includes your car. Faulty O2 sensors will feed misinformation to your car’s computer. The computer will then alter the engine in a way that leads to less power, some hesitation and jerkiness, and running rough. Which means you’ll be embarrassed the next time you try to show off at a green light.
Check engine light
Oh, the check engine warning light. That light that you pretend isn’t there when it lights up. How has that worked out for you?
Try as you might, ignoring a check engine light won’t make it go away. And oxygen sensor failure is a common cause of the light illuminating.
