The functions of the front and rear oxygen sensors mainly include the following three points: 1. The front oxygen sensor can detect the oxygen content in the exhaust and then feed the signal back to the ECU. The ECU can adjust the air-fuel ratio of the engine based on the signal. 2. The rear oxygen sensor mainly detects whether the three-way catalytic converter is working properly. The rear oxygen sensor will feed the signal back to the ECU, and the ECU will compare the data from the front and rear oxygen sensors. If the data from both sensors is the same, it indicates that the three-way catalytic converter is damaged. 3. The three-way catalytic converter can reduce pollutants in the exhaust, which is very important for environmental protection.

What Causes Engine Power Loss?

Here are the specific reasons for engine power loss: 1. Intake manifold air leak: Leaks cause excessively lean air-fuel mixture. 2. Low fuel pressure: Clogged fuel injectors or fuel filters result in insufficient fuel injection or delayed fuel delivery. 3. Faulty throttle position sensor signal: Malfunctioning signals from mass airflow sensors, manifold absolute pressure sensors, or throttle position sensors lead to inadequate fuel injection. 4. Faulty sensor signals: Incorrect sensor signals cause improper ignition timing, resulting in delayed ignition. 5. Faulty ignition components: Weak spark due to defective spark plugs, ignition coils or high-tension wires.

Where is the throttle body located on a BMW e60?

BMW e60 throttle body is located on the left side of the engine. Function of throttle body: It controls the engine's air intake flow, acting as a controllable valve that determines the engine's operating conditions by regulating air entry into the engine. After entering the intake pipe, air mixes with gasoline to form combustible mixture gas for combustion and power generation. The driver operates the throttle opening by pressing the accelerator pedal. Principle of throttle body: In traditional engines, the throttle control mechanism works via a cable or rod connecting the accelerator pedal to the throttle linkage plate. Electronic throttle bodies primarily use throttle position sensors to adjust the throttle opening angle based on engine power demand, thereby regulating the intake air volume.

Can the vehicle no longer be found on 12123 after the transfer of ownership is completed?

After the vehicle is transferred to someone else, it cannot be found on the traffic management 12123 platform because the vehicle's personal information involves private data. Additional information: 1. How long does it take for the vehicle's records to be deleted after the transfer: The vehicle's records are not deleted but are transferred to the vehicle management office where the vehicle is newly registered. The original owner's information is retained for reference purposes only. Once the transfer is completed, the original owner and the vehicle no longer have any relationship. 2. The vehicle has just been transferred and has not yet been registered on 12123: Each region's motor vehicles are managed by the local vehicle management office, and the vehicle's records are kept at the respective local vehicle management office.

Is it necessary to replace the control arm bushing if it's damaged?

It is necessary to replace the control arm bushing if it's damaged. Here are the specific details about the control arm bushing in vehicles: 1. Function: The control arm bushing is installed on the lower control arm and serves as a cushion to absorb shocks. 2. Impact of cracking: If the control arm bushing has minor cracks, the impact is minimal. However, severe cracking or detachment can alter the position of the control arm, leading to unstable steering at high speeds, abnormal noises on bumpy roads, and issues like vehicle deviation. Therefore, it is crucial to replace a damaged control arm bushing promptly to avoid compromising driving safety. 3. Replacement considerations: Choose a bushing of the correct size. Larger bushings should be distinguished between left and right, marked with 'L' for left and 'R' for right.
