Changed all 4 on my jeep wrangler last week.. unbelievable performance increases, like new! Well worth the investment! Power increases, faster, gas mileage increases, beyond my expectations !
Well I gotta tell you I'm a 53-year old grandmother was no choice but to fix my own car I've been watching video after video after video yours was the best it was straight and to the point and very thorough and in the explain everything very well very well done I subscribe to your channel and please put some more on there I didn't check it out yet but I'm sure that's what my problem is thank you very much
Thanks for confirming that a bad O2 sensor may not cause a check engine error code. I believe my 17yr old sensors are sluggish so monitors will not set. Installing 4 new ones tomorrow. Thank for video.
So basically after watching videos on camshaft, crankshaft and oxygen sensors i came to conclusion they all give the same symptoms which is kinda annoying while diagnosing the problems 🤦 nonetheless great videos man:)
Lmaoo I’m having an issues right now I had a code p0725 for the tcm in my 2012 g37s I swapped the engine crankshaft sensor codes gone car drives fine the next night drives like shit almost shuddering on the way home when I would give it a little throttle get home scan it now I have a code po138 p2a00 after installing test pipes 😂
same boat here, all the symptoms im experiencing are apparently synonymous with 20 other problems. I've just been going through everything then checking & testing it.
Thanks for the easy explanations on how the oxygen sensor affects the performance of modern vehicles. Your explanation is simple and conveys how important this sensor to the environment. God bless
Good stuff. My Toyota with a 1GR-FE has 4 cats and 4 O2 sensors. Ran rough with poor fuel economy. Swapped out all 4 O2 sensors - both secondaries were outputting OV (I was fortunate enough to have access to a scan tool) - and it now purrs like a tiger cub. Just like it should.
Was your Toyota running bad before swapping the 02 sensors? I have an 05 Chevy Silverado, just swapped out the transmission and a few other parts. It ran good for a day but today it just wouldn’t give enough power, it would stay at 4k rpm at 60 mph. Had a check engine light and the only code that came up was 02 sensors. I’m wondering if replacing the sensors would fix my problem.
@@707area Just a general feeling that it wasn't quite itself. Nothing like what you are experiencing. In all these situations, my rule is if it isn't right fix it as there is often multiple causes that combine to make all the symptoms. Hope this helps, it sounds to me like there may be other issues present. Good luck.
after watching this. i replace my o2 sensors it fix my problem. my truck is now feeling like a truck should. the mechanic i took it spent 4 hours then told me i needed an overhaul on the engine.
This helped me confirm I had a bad oxygen sensor. CEL came on for bad O2 sensor, but it went away after a couple days. Decided to order a new 02 sensor anyway. Car's been shaking slightly in idle and has had worse performance even though the CEL is still off. I'm gonna go ahead and install the new sensor after watching this video. Thank you.
@@nosajsamaniego4512 Yes. No more shaking, performance restored and no CEL. I recommend checking ebay for an affordable O2 sensor before going to Autozone or somewhere similar. Just make sure you know exactly what type of sensor you need.
OMG I actually stopped crying because you just calmed me, sir. Thank you very much . Now I have a better understanding & not going crazy of how to handle my situation. God bless you
Dude, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart, for speaking slowly and concisely. That makes such a huge difference for me, and for many people. Not a single “umm,” or “like,” or “y’know whaddamean?” Great vid, please keep them coming! Ps your voice reminds me of a less cali-valley-girl version of Dylan aka ‘chills’, from TH-cam. Great job!❤❤❤
You just gave me a whole new perspective here, no codes but idles rough at stop lights like a misfire! This option of replacement is cheaper than a set of 8 fuel injectors! Gonna give the test a try!
@Jay Yoyo still having the rough idle with no code.. updated both valve covers, plugs, wires, coils, intake manifold, map sensor, cleaned MAF sensor.. so I don’t know. I have 4 o2 sensors which are all reading within specs so I’m at a loss.. I may have to get it to a shop for a more detailed scan.
@Jay Yoyo I checked all injectors when I changed the intake manifold, I don’t have any loss of power. This truck does have a fuel control module so I’m thinking it could be that.
@@mexicaG933 my situation is weird, o2 sensors are good. Got a lean code so that’s usually a vacuum leak. I still get random misfires.. I think I just need to buy new coils, I went cheap on those. Still trying to figure it out, but it’s running better with the upgrades I’ve done.
Straight to the point and my vehicle is having all the symptoms. You'd think it would be a clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump from losing power, hesitation, High RPM rev limits and transmission shifting issues. I do have the CEL on and it is the Bank 1, Sensor 1 Upstream. Going to chang it out today in Hope's it will resolve all the issues it's having. Amazing how one little sensor can reck havoc on your engine...
Hello I have an 01 Buick Regal 3800 supercharger my car is also have the same symptoms. I’ve replaced my battery, an starter. radiator does have a slow leak! Any ideas? What could possibly be going on?
i have had all these symptoms with no engine light for a while now & boom yesterday finally throws a code, what is it? “too rich”, “upstream o2 sensor” wish i found this video earlier but great video simple and easy to understand!
Hi Easy Auto: one of the things I enjoy hearing is the way you say "today's video is about "symptoms of a bad 02 sensor" the way you narrate other videos. It's kind like some kinda child narrator. I want you to know I really appreciate the trouble shooting tip regarding unplugging the 02 sensor to troubleshoot. Since I have 2 sensors only on each side of the exhaust manifold, it should be relatively easy to troubleshoot. This tip will save me $$ in the long run because it's possible I do not need a new MAP sensor. I bought two new )2 sensors but the cost to put 'em on and the fact they could be stuck in the manifold scares me. Thanks, tho for the great tip.
You and Chris Fix are my GO-TO for things an car owner can do from home. You are great!! You bet your azz i sub’d brother!! Thx again for all the work you put in to help us out
Well I got more I fo out of this than anything my mechanic told me. My CEL came on but went off with new IAT sensor but it still surges, idles rough in gear only, and strong smelling exhaust. Then poor gas milage and stalling at stops in gear. Every single symptom I have is here. I am replacing it asap. Thanks for the vid it helped out a huge amount.
Thanks Pal! Gonna change it out now in my 2013 Beetle Tubo. Getting horrible gas mileage...106,000 miles. Just had a tune up and required maintenance, new tires, front end aligned and still poor mileage.
The unplugging to check and info of open loop default helped me so much 👌other videos don’t even bother to mention that and I been trying to figure that out if it was a way to diagnose thx a bunch your the best
Do you think a faulty O2 sensor can make my RPM be jumping slightly up and down as I'm on cruise controll at low speeds? It also shakes while accelerating only, not while coasting.
I'm currently in this boat. I think I'm going to just replace the sensor to see if it fixes it and I can report back what happens.. Did you find anything out?
My Nissan Frontier experienced rough idling, would jerk when I accelerated, engine light enabled, and would stop on me as I'm driving. Changing the O2 sensor fixed it though
Hi so it wa she sensor My car same problm was thinking it c be the fuelpump.sometimes it start sometimes not .so just want to know coz to change fuelpump is a lot of money
@@hazelpieterse853 in my case it was definitely the O2 sensor. Before changing the O2 sensor, I changed 5 other sensors, but replacing them didn't fix anything. It wasn't until I replaced the O2 sensor that I could finally drive my truck without any of the symptoms described.
I've got a '00 Blazer, been replacing sensors here lately I've replaced the cps,tps, with 184k miles with poorer gas mileage as usual the oxygen sensor should be next thanks for info. 😁
Been waiting for friend to bring over a meter to change mine for sure but after that bit bout the idling I'm convinced that's my issue so thanks man. I been an industrial mechanic my whole life so I can fix anything even on a car I just can't diagnose anything that's not a machine the size of our house lol
@@hazelpieterse853 : The scanner indicated code "P0136 oxygen sensor circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2" After replacing 02 sensor 2 which located downstream. Then the engine light no longer turned on. I will update in the near future should the engine light turn again.
I don't clean mine, I replace them! And I don't follow the 100,000 miles rule. I follow my own instinct. I change mine every 45K to 60K miles depends on how I abused my work truck in a daily basis. I replace 2 of them because my work truck only have 1 catalytic converter so there's 2 of them 1 for upstream and 1 for downstream. I always putting brand new OEM Genuine parts from Nissan, oxygen sensor. After I replace them, I'm also cleaning up the throttle body, MAF Sensor too, and the Air Filter as well since I got Volant Cold air intake on my Nissan Frontier truck. And after all that I'm gonna check all the 6 Spark plugs, if they're still in good condition then I'll leave it there, but If one of them is messed up then I'll be replacing all 6 Spark plugs. So I'm all done replacing the Oxygen Sensor, also checked and or replaced sparkplugs, cleaned/inspected the Throttle body and MAF sensor, then I'll be checking the Fan Belt check/inspect and or replace If necessary. And the other components and parts like water pump, pulley, Fuel Injectors, Transmission Gear box gear oil change, Clutch, Differential Fluid Change, Radiator Coolant check or change, Radiator check/Inspection/ and or Replacement if necessary and so on and so on will be follow up in the next maintenance schedule. this is how I conduct my preventive maintenance on all of my vehicles that's why my 2010 Nissan Frontier Nismo 4.0L V6 (VQ-40) Turbocharged 6 Speed Manual transmission truck is now at 713K miles. Still going strong and still have tons of power and torque.
Wow..i didn't know you could unplug them and see if it runs better.. Like the MAF.. ive done that trick anfew times with other cars. Gonna try it with my Saturn SL2
Could this be responsible for an rpm drop on a cvt from 1500 to 1000 accompanied by a low rumble sound while ascending a hill? No check engine light on and this is the only issue. The rpm drop only lasts for 1-2 seconds then ascends normally
Hello. I own a vw golf 2 and I have a problem when I connect the coolant temp. sensor, the engine is trembling and even stops (I ve changed the sensor twice and it s stll doing the same). My question is: can the Lambda sensor have a bad influence on the coolant temp sensor?
Close to the end of the video you had white smoke coming from the tailpipe. Is that also sign that O2 is bad? My car at startup gets that first smoke more then usual, but it stops soon after. I know its not condensation.
Are there any dangers to driving with a faulty o2 sensor for a long while? I am looking at an 06 honda crv with this, and I want to buy it, then drive it home 600 miles before fixing it.. thoughts? Thanks for the vid!
I'm extremely thankful for the explanation but truly pissed that I've just realized that I spend my hard earned money in various car shops but never got a clear detailed explanation like this before.
I have a Hyundai Sonata 2012 limited and it has 2 sensors . One is by the engine and the other one is by the exhaust pipe. Which one should I remove ? Thabk you
My malibu check engine lifht came on for engine bank lean and it has a rough acceleration and my car feels heavy on acceleration then before. I already cleaned my maf sensor but still fees the same. You think it could be the o2 sensor?
@@geewhite3192 over in my neck of the woods i was charged $435. Seemed a bit harsh but they kept it for 2 days until they found the problem with the smoke machine.
I have a lancer 2006 model. It's a 1.3 L engine with 1 oxygen sensor. I don't get the check engine light but I have to following issues. 1. Low mileage, 7.5 kmpl ☹️ 2. Rough / heavy idle when cold start (4-500rpm) then gets a bit better when the engine gets warmer (7-800rpm). 3. When I accelerate at cold start, the engine hesitates & rpm rises with a delay & sometimes with a very light miss fire. (New plugs + coils temporarily solved this problem but it came back after a few days of driving). 4. I have to constantly clean my MAP sensor + air filter + throttle body with a throttle cleaner spray after every 1000-1500km or else the car starts to behave more sluggish. 5. I even got my engine completely overhauled recently with new pistons, valves, rings, coils etc although the sensors have not been changed. 6. I can smell unburnt fuel from the exhaust & it indicates that the car is running rich. It even starts to hurt my eyes I get close to the exhaust. Kindly advise as to what to check & what can be the possible issue. Thanks.
It can without a engine light you can find out by looking at the fuel gauge or checking your vehicle MPG readings if it’s a newer vehicle and it has that
A funny thing happened to my 96 sentra, in the mornings it would have a tough time starting, part of it was the fuel pump going bad, but I could not figure out why it was still bad, my inyectors and throttle body were perfect, other sensors were working fine, until I unplugged the oxygen sensor, BOOM, fired right up on a cold morning.
Thank you for watching!

Car has lean codes but my oxygen sensor aren't ready yet, could the not ready be the reason?
Hello. I own a vw golf 2 and I have a problem when I connect the coolant temp. sensor, the engine is trembling and even stops (I ve changed the sensor twice and it s stll doing the same). My question is: can the Lambda sensor have a bad influence on the coolant temp sensor?
I had a faulty oxygen sensor and MAF both do the same kinda job I think!
Which 02 sensor should be unplugged for the testing procedure? Upstream or down ?
Upstream
@@easyautofix thanks for the reply. Just a question, won't it set a code after disconnecting the sensor?
@@JohnContos-h1v It should, yes
Close to the end of the video you had white smoke coming from the tailpipe. Is that also sign that O2 is bad? My car at startup gets that first smoke more then usual, but it stops soon after. I know its not condensation.
Very good to learn thanks very much
Good video!. Buen video!.
Are there any dangers to driving with a faulty o2 sensor for a long while? I am looking at an 06 honda crv with this, and I want to buy it, then drive it home 600 miles before fixing it.. thoughts? Thanks for the vid!
Outstanding explanation. Learning is fun.
Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
I'm extremely thankful for the explanation but truly pissed that I've just realized that I spend my hard earned money in various car shops but never got a clear detailed explanation like this before.
Would this also cause it to have a misfire code?
It is possible.
Thank you very much brother 👍
I have a Hyundai Sonata 2012 limited and it has 2 sensors . One is by the engine and the other one is by the exhaust pipe. Which one should I remove ? Thabk you
Thank You for explaning this so easy this video is very very helpful 😁👍
My malibu check engine lifht came on for engine bank lean and it has a rough acceleration and my car feels heavy on acceleration then before. I already cleaned my maf sensor but still fees the same. You think it could be the o2 sensor?
Was it the O2 sensor?
@@geewhite3192 apparently the gasket between the intake and the engine was cracked and sucking in air through there.
@@El_LeChErO91 how much was the repair
@@geewhite3192 over in my neck of the woods i was charged $435. Seemed a bit harsh but they kept it for 2 days until they found the problem with the smoke machine.
Gotcha. How did the car ride after the repair?
Well explained. Thanks👍
Thank you!
thank you for the tips ,very helpful.
I have a lancer 2006 model. It's a 1.3 L engine with 1 oxygen sensor. I don't get the check engine light but I have to following issues.
1. Low mileage, 7.5 kmpl ☹️
2. Rough / heavy idle when cold start (4-500rpm) then gets a bit better when the engine gets warmer (7-800rpm).
3. When I accelerate at cold start, the engine hesitates & rpm rises with a delay & sometimes with a very light miss fire. (New plugs + coils temporarily solved this problem but it came back after a few days of driving).
4. I have to constantly clean my MAP sensor + air filter + throttle body with a throttle cleaner spray after every 1000-1500km or else the car starts to behave more sluggish.
5. I even got my engine completely overhauled recently with new pistons, valves, rings, coils etc although the sensors have not been changed.
6. I can smell unburnt fuel from the exhaust & it indicates that the car is running rich. It even starts to hurt my eyes I get close to the exhaust.
Kindly advise as to what to check & what can be the possible issue.
Thanks.
It can without a engine light you can find out by looking at the fuel gauge or checking your vehicle MPG readings if it’s a newer vehicle and it has that
A funny thing happened to my 96 sentra, in the mornings it would have a tough time starting, part of it was the fuel pump going bad, but I could not figure out why it was still bad, my inyectors and throttle body were perfect, other sensors were working fine, until I unplugged the oxygen sensor, BOOM, fired right up on a cold morning.
Can it have symptoms only on cold start? like first 15-30 second, vibrating, rough idle
