With a car that has electronic fuel injection, it makes sense to me that burning oil is going to mess up
oxygen sensor readings which is going to lead to less - than - optimal fuel regulation.
Not exact matches
NextWave envisions a test where patients could place the
sensor on their tongue to get
readings on blood
oxygen, blood glucose and uric acid — potential indicators of diabetes and gout.
However, a new
sensor developed at MIT could change that: A research team led by professor Michael Cima has invented an injectable device that reveals
oxygen levels over several weeks and can be
read with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
So I was
reading this Quora question which answers in the affirmative, but here's my misgiving: I was under the impression that the
oxygen sensor which the ECU uses to adjust the fuel - to - air ratio, is located in the catalytic converter.
This problem can actually affect the gas mileage as you will be sucking in
oxygen at the leaks which confuses the O2
sensors into telling the computer to dump more fuel (it
reads a false lean condition).
An
oxygen sensor failure can lead to incorrect
readings of exhaust gasses.
Meaning, the control module is receiving a signal that the
oxygen sensor is
reading a post converter signal that the catalytic converter isn't doing its job.
When the
oxygen sensors have
readings that are similar to each other, it is an indication that the catalytic converter is not working as intended.
