Stricter environmental controls and the requirement to create less pollution has led to far more complex automotive exhaust systems. One component of these systems is the oxygen sensor or Lambda ...

We tested popular wideband O₂ controllers against lab-grade equipment to see how accurate their lambda readings really are under real engine conditions.

How many oxygen sensors does a typical car have, and what factors determine this number? Additionally, how do their placements affect engine performance and emissions control? Thomas Hello Thomas, the ...

As the name suggests, oxygen sensors in a car’s exhaust system sniff for oxygen, the presence of which indicates incomplete combustion and unchecked pollution. This can trigger the check engine light.
