Will the BMW X1 Exhaust Regulator Sport Oxygen Sensor Have Any Impact?
1 Answers
There will be no significant impact. The greatest harm to the car occurs when certain malfunctions are left unrepaired. Below are several functions of the oxygen sensor: Reducing exhaust pollution: An oxygen sensor is installed in the exhaust pipe to detect oxygen concentration and provide feedback to the fuel injection system's control unit (ECU). The ECU uses this data to adjust fuel injection volume, thereby maintaining the optimal air-fuel ratio. If the oxygen sensor is damaged, both fuel consumption and exhaust emissions will increase, and the engine may exhibit symptoms such as unstable idling and misfiring. Assisting normal engine operation: If issues like unstable idling, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, or excessive exhaust emissions occur during operation, and no other faults are found in the fuel supply or ignition systems, it is highly likely that the oxygen sensor or related circuits are malfunctioning.
