    It’ll absolute ruin your engine given enough time. Not just the cats but running too rich or too lean is very bad for extended periods

    To say, "it is an easy fix, it's just a sensor" is only true if the exhaust is not rusty and the sensor screws right out.

    It ruins engines u liar, mine starting misfiring and stalling. Everyone kept saying it’s the transmission, then it started revving bad after a couple months. Now I can’t go past 25 miles on drive with out the acceleration stopping and slowing down. Went to autozone, found out it was O2 heater circuit bank 1 sensor 2. I fixed that little part and gave car oil change and now it’s working like no problem

    Roll of thumb, anything that makes your check engine light come on should be fixed ASAP, but you can still drive to work. The computer will make the car run rich until the problem is fixed and can eventually cause your cat to clog, so don't dally. Now if your check engine light is FLASHING, DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR. That means it's having an active missfire in

    Will the o2 sensor cause the car to shake bad when you’re going high speeds 65 to 80?? I already replaced tires and had alignment done.

    • @jar3040
      @jar3040 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      the computer will sometimes get confused on how much air it should mix with the fuel with a bad o2 sensor, but if you're moving that fast, unlikely, check your suspension and make sure everything is tightened to spec

    • @Shaw9.81
      @Shaw9.81 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      no , but if your catyllic converter went out, that will cause a louder muffler, also if your exhaust has bad gaskets, that will cause it, or if the muffler is really old and rusty, that will also cause a louder muffler

      yes you do need them its how the engine controls fuel to air mixture, a catalytic converter just keeps the air we breath clean (can be deleted if you have no emissions testing and hate clean air ) and the muffler is there to make the car quieter ( can also be deleted to make vroom vroom noise )
