How To Diagnose Slow or Sluggish Oxygen Sensors

When oxygen sensors are tested, manufacturers will introduce small amounts of oil to measure sensitivity.

An engine management system is always trying to find the perfect air/fuel ratio. But it is next to impossible to walk the line between too rich or too lean. With every revolution of the crankshaft, small changes in the air, fuel and operating conditions can cause changes to the oxygen content coming out of the exhaust port.

As miles accumulate, O2 sensors effectively “catch a cold,” meaning they can’t breathe like they should.
